  F# minorF#m
I dreamt I saw a woman,
  F# minorF#m
Standing by the strand,
  F# minorF#m
Waiting for her people,
  F# minorF#m
To come in from the land.
  F# minorF#m
Waiting there for seven days,
  F# minorF#m
She built a fire in the sand,
  F# minorF#m
Waiting for her people,
  F# minorF#m
To come in from the land.

She had the look of a refugee,
Hiding in her eyes,
And when I tried to talk to her,
She answered with a cry,
And pointed to the water,
Out beyond the harbour line,
Where a thousand ships lay waiting,
They lay waiting for my sign.

But I remember days of sunlight,
A augmentedA
With my father by my side,
A augmentedA
And the children ran before us,
A augmentedA
Like the foam upon the tide.

We ran like frightened partridge,
When the strangers came to talk,
Bringing sickness 'round them,
And the thunder in their walk.
We ran into the valleys,
And we ran into the hills,
The young they ran before us,
Driven by a stranger's will.

I remember days of sunlight,
With my father by my side;
And the children ran before us,
Like the foam upon the tide.

I'm waiting by the land wash,
With the giant standing near,
I see them coming always,
All the children and their fear.
I'm waiting on my blanket,
And the giant waits with me,
And I will wait here always,
As they fill the endless sea.

I remember days of sunlight,
With my father by my side;
And the children ran before us,
Like the foam upon the tide.

I remember days of sunlight,
With my father by my side;
And the children ran before us,
Like the foam upon the tide.

I remember days of sunlight,
And I remember children;
And I remember days of sunlight,
