Blackmore's Night "Village on the sand" Songtext

Village on the sand

I saw three ships a sailin' in from across the seaStrangers ne'er were welcome but for curiosityBut come they did and when they did, ready they did standAnd things would never be the same in our village on the sand

When the ships pulled into dock, the villagers did hideWhen trouble came, it usually was brought upon the tideWhen the pirates disembarked, they were making plansAnd from then on, things were not the same in our village on the sand

Na na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sandNa na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sand

The smugglers came into our town and many sought to runI stood my ground bravely and came face to face with oneTime and travel on the seas weathered face and handHe was different than the others in my village on the sand

Na na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sandNa na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sand

He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seasBut then he spoke a poet's words of philosophyAnd when he had to leave again, he asked me for my handAnd I knew I'd never see again, my village on the sand

Na na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sandNa na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sand

Na na, na na na naNa na, na na na naNa na, na na na naNa na, na na na na, our village on the sand
