Tall Ships Go
Big Country

I dream I heard that you were there
I dreamed I searched an empty bed, for a sight of you
And the sea called up to me, like a cell without a key
And I felt the distance
I watched the tall ships go, with the driftwood on the flow
With pride that grows in hardship, 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 seagulls cry
I don't know how to feel that call, never suited me at all
But some are drawn to it
But you seemed so pride of heart, like a bloody edge of sword
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, all the shame that years will bring
And I felt your hand shake
Well you always seemed so hard, now I never see the sword
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?
