The Dawntreader lyrics

Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions

Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor

Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where

Never mind their questions there's no answer for

The roll of the harbour wake

The songs that the rigging makes

The taste of the spray he takes

And he learns to give

He aches and he learns to live

He stakes all his silver

On a promise to be free

Mermaids live in colonies

All his seadreams come to me

City satins left at home I will not need them

I believe him when he tells of loving me

Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you

Leave behind your streets he said and come to me

Come down from the neon nights

Come down from the tourist sights

Run down till the rain delights you

You do not hide

Sunlight will renew your pride

Skin white by skin golden

Like a promise to be free

Dolphins playing in the sea

All his seadreams come to me

Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings

I am smiling at your circles in the air

I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping

Fold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share

A dream that you love someone

A dream that the wars are done

A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea

They'll say that you're crazy

And a dream of a baby

Like a promise to be free

Children laughing out to sea

All his seadreams come to me

All his seadreams come to me
