Well I left my home in a Scotia town,
Moved out west where I'd be found,
Dreamin', well I'm dreamin'.
Well I never thought my life would change,
Always thought it'd be the same,
But leaving, I'm still believing.

That childhood dream I'll have someday,
Slowly starts to fade away,
I'm seeing.
So very close I could almost taste,
Seems those years have been a waste,
Deceiving it's been deceiving.

Time has past, but I still feel,
The ocean breeze it seems so real,
I'm hoping, just hoping.
Someday soon if it all works out,
Nova Scotia is where I'm bound
Believing, I'm still believing,
I'll hear the waves against the shore,
Seagulls cries at the fishing warf,
I'm hearing.
The mackerel runs and the dory boats,
The simple ways I love the most,
I'm dreamin', just dreamin'.

I see her when I close my eyes,
The Scotia land I once despised.
Longing, just longing.
It's been ten years or more it seems,
But I've still got my memories,
I'm holdin', just holding.
Through the years I've wondered why,
The grass seemed greener on the other side,
But I'm learning.
When I set my feet on that Scotia ground,
Then I know I've surely found,
The meaning, the meaning.

Well it don't matter, where I go,
'Cause in my heart my Scotia home, is waitin',
Just waiting.
Good Lord knows I regret the day,
I packed it up and moved away,But someday, maybe someday.
I'm dreaming, just dreaming.
Believing, I'm still believing.
Lord I'm hoping, I'm hoping.
Yeah believing, I'm still believing .
