Sailors

from Newfoundland by Great North

lyrics

I fell in love, as if for the first time. And love is blind to all the darkness in its blood. See the stars, they were bought at a high price off the night. My only love, a great white city. With its skyline getting cut up piece by piece. And its eyes glowing like an old TV repeating history. Hang your head, my oldest soldier. Hang your head, weep and gnash your teeth in shame. In the end all that’s left is to divide the blame as enemies. So let’s set sail into the city, with its skyline making peaks out of the sea. In our dream, filled with doves as white as teeth, we’ll be set free

Oh my dove, the flood has gone, and all it leaves is a song. We’ll sing it alone.

Oh my dove the flood has gone and on your face I’ll trace a path back to our home. A path back to our soil. A path back to our bones bending round the haunted place where we were born. Born out of the soil. Born out of these bones. Born out of the waves that crashed upon us both.
