OK, OK, OK... Joe, you've got a new record for mondegreens here! ;-)

I DREAM OF YOU (John Doyle)
(as sung by Heidi Talbot)

In the morning I listen, the waves beat the shore;
The gannet and curlew, in earshot they call.
The mist rolls over and covers us all.

CHORUS
And I dream of you, far away from me,
Tow haul and line across the murdering sea.
Across the murdering sea.

And o'er the long distance where you steer your way
Through reef bank and knolls to fish the great seas.
A prison on water, and icy cold grave.

CHORUS 2
And I dream of you, far away from me,
My bedside is empty
Where you used to lay
Where you used to lay.

[instrumental break]

The towering seas tumble, you pitch and you roll,
You keep your course steady through calm and through squall,
You cast your nets out for the great catch to haul.

CHORUS 3
And I dream of you, far away from me,
Rolling with the waves
Across the wine-dark sea
Across the wine-dark sea.

And will you come back and rest near to me?
So I can caress you, a gra geal mo chroi
I can dream easy, and sleep peacefully

CHORUS 1
And I dream of you, far away from me,
Tow haul and line across the murdering sea.
Across the murdering sea.
