Set off for America far across the ragin' sea[00:00:01]
From the frozen coves of my island home[00:00:07]
To the land of liberty[00:00:11]
I have to leave my girl behind[00:00:14]
Until I make my way[00:00:18]
Oh Molly dear please wait for me[00:00:22]
I'll come back for you some day[00:00:25]
We landed hard in Boston[00:00:29]
and I'd never seen the like[00:00:32]
A small boat boy from around the bay[00:00:35]
In this sea of shining lights[00:00:39]
Two days in I got a job[00:00:43]
Building towers of high steel[00:00:47]
I had to learn, to not look down[00:00:50]
And I quickly learned to kneel[00:00:54]
All I need is one good nights sleep[00:01:13]
In your loving arms, to mend[00:01:19]
We sleep to dream[00:01:27]
And we dream to live[00:01:30]
Will I live to love you again[00:01:33]
I saved every cent I could[00:01:42]
But the months turned into years[00:01:45]
Then a letter came from Molly[00:01:49]
and confirmed my deepest fears[00:01:52]
She would no longer wait for me,[00:01:56]
she'd found a better man[00:02:00]
I might have been in America,[00:02:04]
but my heart was broken[00:02:07]
In Newfoundland[00:02:09]
All I need is one good nights sleep[00:02:17]
In your loving arms, to mend[00:02:25]
We sleep to dream[00:02:32]
And we dream to live[00:02:35]
Will I live to love you again[00:02:39]
My working days are over now[00:03:21]
And my children have all grown[00:03:24]
I did the best with what I had[00:03:27]
But some days I feel alone[00:03:31]
I often wonder where you are[00:03:34]
Do you still know my name[00:03:38]
Deep inside this old man's heart[00:03:42]
There's a love that still remains[00:03:45]
All I need is one good nights sleep[00:03:49]
In your loving arms, to mend[00:03:56]
We sleep to dream[00:04:03]
And we dream to live[00:04:06]
Will I live to love you again[00:04:10]
All I need is one good nights sleep[00:04:18]
In your loving arms, to mend[00:04:25]
We sleep to dream[00:04:32]
And we dream to live[00:04:35]
Will I live to love you again[00:04:39]
