Sailing Ships from Heaven

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
