Sailing Ships From Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And she played the harmonium down by the sea
Singing “God save the USA”
“And God save me”
And though God never had
She believed Him to be
On his way
She had lived out in Paris before Paris fell
Singing “when will I hear again from Jean Michelle?”
And she prayed for his soul
And she hoped he was well
Anyway
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven won’t be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
And she laughed
Don’t be sad like the boys in the trees
They will be waiting for the world to face
She said when they were young they went down on their knees
For my love
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven won’t be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
And she walked on the beach in the wind and the rain
Singing “why don’t you ask me why I feel no pain?”
And the reason that keeps me from going insane
That’s my love
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven won’t be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven won’t be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
