The Dawntreader

<br>Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions<br>Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor<br>Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where<br>Never mind their questions there`s no answer for<br>The roll of the harbor wake<br>The songs that the rigging makes<br>The taste of the spray he takes<br>And he learns to give<br>He aches and he learns to live<br>He stakes all his silver<br>On a promise to be free<br>Mermaids live in colonies<br>All his seadreams come to me<br>City satins left at home I will not need them<br>I believe him when he tells of loving me<br>Something truthful in the sea your lies will find you<br>Leave behind your streets he said and come to me<br>Come down from the neon nights<br>Come down from the tourist sights<br>Run down till the rain delights you<br>You do not hide<br>Sunlight will renew your pride<br>Skin white by skin golden<br>Like a promise to be free<br>Dolphins playing in the sea<br>All his seadreams come to me<br>Seabird I have seen you fly above the pilings<br>I am smiling at your circles in the air<br>I will come and sit by you while he lies sleeping<br>Fold your fleet wings I have brought some dreams to share<br>A dream that you love someone<br>A dream that the wars are done<br>A dream that you tell no one but the grey sea<br>They`ll say that you`re crazy<br>And a dream of a baby<br>Like a promise to be free<br>Children laughing out to sea<br>All his seadreams come to me<br> 1968 Siquomb Publishing Co.
