Tall Ships Go (2014 Mix)

Tall Ships Go (2014 Remaster) - Big Country (大鄉野合唱團)

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
