(written by Bob Hallett)      I dreamt I saw a woman standing by the strand,   Waiting for her people to come in from the land.   Waiting there for seven days, she built a fire in the sand   Waiting for her people 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.       CHORUS:   I remember days of sunlight   With my father by my side   And the children, ran before us   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 ran before us driven by the strangers' will       CHORUS       I'm waiting by the landwash with the giant standing near   I see them coming always, the cChildren in 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       CHORUS   repeat
