Great Big Sea
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
