Tall Ships Go Lyrics
I dream I heard that you were there
I dreamed I searched an empty bed, for a sight of you
And the sea called up to me, like a cell without a key
And I felt the distance
I watched the tall ships go, with the driftwood on the flow
With pride that grows in hardship, 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 seagulls cry
I don't know how to feel that call, never suited me at all
But some are drawn to it
But you seemed so pride of heart, like a bloody edge of sword
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, all the shame that years will bring
And I felt your hand shake
Well you always seemed so hard, now I never see the sword
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?
I dreamed I searched an empty bed, for a sight of you
And the sea called up to me, like a cell without a key
And I felt the distance
I watched the tall ships go, with the driftwood on the flow
With pride that grows in hardship, 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?
While the seagulls cry
I don't know how to feel that call, never suited me at all
But some are drawn to it
But you seemed so pride of heart, like a bloody edge of sword
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?
You spoke to me of things, all the shame that years will bring
And I felt your hand shake
Well you always seemed so hard, now I never see the sword
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?

This is about Stuart's father who worked on ships and was away during much of his youth. It tells me that he remembered well the fear he had once he realized that he may not come back.
