the melrose quartet - droving dreams lyrics

Loading...

1.arise with me

before the dawn is breaking

there’s nothing here to give us cheer

besides the roof is leaking

across the sea

or just a little nearer

perhaps the skies are clearer

in a fine foreign land

so it’s rise up broken hearted

rag and tatter kings and queens

droving dreams on the ocean seems

a fine place to be

2.some take the train

while others sail the ocean

i ask the sky to tell me why

we all must be in motion

why some folks gain

and hanker for a peerage

while others travel steerage

to a fine foreign land

3.some souls turn

to earn in honest labour

to factory or victory

or for a lover’s favour
when young hearts burn

and sultry suns are gleaming

you always will be dreaming

of that fine foreign land

4.skies turn grey

for beggar as for gentry

from east to west the road is best

when neighbours are a+plenty

when children play

and babies they are squalling

think on the bombs a+falling

on their fine foreign land

5.in a handmade home

where nothing may assail us

i ask the rain to please explain

why memories do fail us

why kind hearts roam

and flee the clouds above us

and leave the ones who love us

for a fine foreign land
