Demasduit Dream

Intro : F#m F#m F#m F#m F#m E F#m E A F#m i dreamt i saw a woman , A F#m standing by the strand , A F#m waiting for her people , A F#m to come in from the land . A F#m waiting there for seven days , A F#m she built a fire in the sand , A F#m waiting for her people , A F#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 . D A D A but i remember days of sunlight , D A G A with my father by my side , D A D A and the children ran before us , D A G A 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 , and i remember . . . i remember . . . i remember . . .
