big country - tall ships go lyrics
i dreamed i heard that you were dead
i dreamed i searched an empty bed
for a sign of you
and the sea called hard to me
like a cell without a key
and i felt the distance
i watched the tall ships go
with the drift wood on the flow
with pride that grows in hardship
and i knew you were below
i hear your voice
and it keeps me from sleeping
why must it always be dreams
when your voice comes to me
i dreamed you felt the typhoon spit
and walked into the heart of it
while the sea gulls cry
i know how to feel that call
it never suited me at all
but some are born to it
and you seemed so bright and hard
like a bl–dy edge of sword
but if you’re an enemy
then you look a lot like me
i hear your voice
and it keeps me from sleeping
why must it always be dreams
when your voice comes to me
i dreamed you sailed me to the swamp
in a black boat
you spoke to me of things
of the shame that years will bring
and i felt your hand shake
though you always seemed so hard
now i never see the sword
and i find the enemy
has to feel the same as me
i hear your voice
and it keeps me from sleeping
why must it always be dreams
when your voice comes to me
