Tall Ships Go

I dreamed I heard that you were dead
 I dreamed I searched an empty bed
 For a sign of you
 And the sea called hard to me
 Like a cell without a key
 And I felt the distance
 I watched the tall ships go
 With the drift wood on the flow
 With pride that grows in hardship
 And 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 sea gulls cry
 I know how to feel that call
 It never suited me at all
 But some are born to it
 And you seemed so bright and hard
 Like a bloody edge of sword
 But 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
 Of the shame that years will bring
 And I felt your hand shake
 Though you always seemed so hard
 Now I never see the sword
 And 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
