amaidí - st helena كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
in 1867, i was sent away to prison
for the murder of a man who k!lled my son
the gaol at petrie terrace was overloaded so they sent us
to the island as a slave beneath the sun
the first thing we did there cut the trees down to the clear
nowhere to hide and nowhere left to run
after wrapping him in fabric, we dug a grave for old fitzpatrick
he was the first, but not the last to succumb

[chorus]
these are our days on st. helena
and the waves crash on the shore so small
and far across the bay we can see the lights of brisbane
so far away and yet not far at all

[verse 2]
hard labour there was tough, breaks a man right to his core
the sun hurt, but the whip hurt even more
we churned out bricks in the factory that built your city hall
and at night i just stare blankly at the wall

[chorus]
these are our days on st. helena
and the waves crash on the shore so small
and far across the bay we can see the lights of brisbane
so far away and yet not far at all
[verse 3]
one night old john mccauley
hatched a plan to for us to join him
to escape back to the mainland wynnum way
with nothing left to beat us, we climbed aboard the raft of timbers, setting sail for life beyond the morton bay
but the power of the sea had overwhelmed us gang of thieves
the frigid ocean water took its toll
old moreton left her mark and fed our bodies to the sharks
and the lord had put to rest my suffering soul

[chorus]
these are our days on st. helena
and the waves crash on the shore so small
and far across the bay we can see the lights of brisbane
so far away and yet not far at all
these are our days on st. helena
and the waves crash on the shore so small
and far across the bay we can see the lights of brisbane
so far away and yet not far at all
