The Dawntreader |
| Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions\nGilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor\nTreasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where\nNever mind their questions there’s no answer for\nThe roll of the harbor wake\nThe songs that the rigging makes\nThe taste of the spray he takes\nAnd he learns to give\nHe aches and he learns to live\nHe stakes all his silver\nOn a promise to be free\nMermaids live in colonies\nAll his sea dreams come to me\nCity satins left at home I will not need them\nI believe him when he tells of loving me\nSomething truthful in the sea your lies will find you\nLeave behind your streets he said and come to me\nCome down from the neon nights\nCome down from the tourist sights\nRun down till the rain delights you\nYou do not hide\nSunlight will renew your pride\nSkin white by skin golden\nLike a promise to be free\nDolphins playing in the sea\nAll his sea dreams come to me\nSeabird I have seen you fly above the pilings\nI am smiling at your circles in the air\nI will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping\nFold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share\nA dream that you love someone\nA dream that the wars are done\nA dream that you tell no one but the gray sea\nThey’ll say that you’re crazy\nAnd a dream of a baby\nLike a promise to be free\nChildren laughing out to sea\nAll his sea dreams come to me |
