Dover, Delaware Lyrics - Duhks - Duhks

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
