Dream to Live |
Set off for America far across the ragin' sea |
From the frozen coves of my island home |
To the land of liberty |
I have to leave my girl behind |
Until I make my way |
Oh Molly dear please wait for me |
I’ll come back for you some day |
We landed hard in Boston |
And I’d never seen the like |
A small boat boy from around the bay |
In this sea of shining lights |
Two days in I got a job |
Building towers of high steel |
I had to learn, to not look down |
And I quickly learned to kneel |
All I need is one good nights sleep |
In your loving arms, to mend |
We sleep to dream |
And we dream to live |
Will I live to love you again |
I saved every cent I could |
But the months turned into years |
Then a letter came from Molly |
And confirmed my deepest fears |
She would no longer wait for me |
She’d found a better man |
I might have been in America |
But my heart was broken |
In Newfoundland |
My working days are over now |
And my children have all grown |
I did the best with what I had |
But some days I feel alone |
I often wonder where you are |
Do you still know my name |
Deep inside this old man’s heart |
There’s a love that still remains |
