Píseň: Dry Land

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Back to the Night
Let me sail to the depths of your soul 
 Let me anchor as near as I can be to your shore 
 I'm coming into dry land 
 Been a long time at sea 
 And the season of loving 
 Has long awaited me


 Tides and waves have kept me 
 Kept me going 
 I'm longing for the calm 
 I'm heading for the pastures 
 I can see on your dry land 
 Let the sea that once did take me 
 Bring me back safe to your door 
 For I long to touch the dry land of your shore


 Clear back to land I'm rowing 
 Clear the deck let me touch your soul 
 Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love 
 I'll promise you so much more
