Blackmore’s Night - Village on the Sand lyrics

I saw three ships a-sailin' in
From across the sea
Strangers never were welcome
But for curiosity
But come they did and when they did
Ready they did stand
And things would never be the same
In our village on the sand

When the ships pulled into dock
The villagers did hide when trouble came
It usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked
They were making plans and from then on
Things were not the same in
Our village on the sand

Na na, na na na na
Na na, na na na na, our village on the sand
Na na, na na na na
Na na, na na na na, our village on the sand
The smugglers came into our town
And many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came
Face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas
Weathered face and hand
He was different than the others in
My village on the sand

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

He told me of the years he'd
Spent on the stormy seas but then he spoke a
Poet's words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again
He asked me for my hand
And I knew I'd never see again
My village on the sand

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