Dream To Live

Set off for America far across the ragin' sea
From the frozen coves of my island home
To the land of liberty
I had to leave my girl behind
Until I made my way
Oh Molly dear please wait for me
I'll come back for you some day

We landed hard in Boston
and I've 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

And I wonder if this will ever end
And I wonder if I'll ever see your face again

All I need is one good night's sleep
In your loving arms, to mend
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 found a better man
I might have been in America
but my heart was broken
In Newfoundland

All I need is one good night's sleep
In your loving arms, to mend
Sleep to dream
And we dream to live
Will I live to love you again

All I.. need..
All I.. need..
All I.. need..
All I.. need..

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
And deep inside this old man's heart
There's a love that still remains

All I need is one good night's sleep
In your loving arms, to mend
Sleep to dream
And we dream to live
Will I live to love you again

All I need is one good night's sleep
In your loving arms, to mend
Sleep to dream
And we dream to live
Will I live to love you again

All I.. need..
All I.. need..
All I.. need..
All I.. need..
