Dear Reader - Good Hope Lyrics

They came from the sea, she brought them to me
Though I'm sure they did curse her most murderous means
Thrown on the rocks, broken bodies and hearts
They washed up on the shores of our southern most parts

What a price they had won
Though they barely had sought
The green mountains that rose up above called them forth

So they hiked to the mount
To that high table top
Where the view that awaited their gaze shouted. you can do anything, boy

They came from the sea, she brought them to me
Only time will show what sort of gift they would be

In the bay down below
On her dark, friendless bed
Lay the vessel that carried their hopes in her breast

Now the thrill of the swell
They had learnt to regret
But the view that awaited their gaze shouted, you can do anything, boy

They came from the sea, she brought them to me
Only time will show what sort of gift they would be
