The Dawntreader

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 harbor 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 sea dreams 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 or lies will find you

"Leave behind your streets", he said, "And come to me"

Come down from the neon lights

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 sea dreams 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 gray sea

They'll say that you're crazy

And to dream of a baby

Like a promise to be free

Children laughing out to sea

All his sea dreams come to me

All his sea dreams come to me
