The Duhks - Dover, Delaware lyrics

Walk down Marva road a stranger Threw my stone far across the bay Sent my son to a foreign ocean, And dreamed of my home so far away The darkness split to see a soldier Struck by the spinning of the beacon's light Take your tune he said "Treat it tender And make good use of it tonight" Sing a love song for the first to fall Keep singing 'til they fight no more Tell my love I'll be waiting there In Dover, Delaware Dover, Delaware Dark and grey, cold Atlantic Dark and grey stand the ships in line Waiting for another tide turn Sent to fight for one more time Sing a love song for the first to fall Keep singing 'til they fight no more Tell my love I'll be waiting there In Dover, Delaware Dover, Delaware Watch the shore fade behind me Watch the smoke from the grey ship stack Watch the cannon and the bomb fall And when it's done they'll bring me back Sing a love song for the first to fall And keep singing 'til they fight no more Tell my love I'll be waiting there In Dover, Delaware Dover, Delaware Sing a love song for the first to fall Keep singing 'til they fight no more Tell my love I'll be waiting there In Dover, Delaware Dover, Delaware In Dover, Delaware Dover, Delaware
