The Dawntreader Lyrics

Joni Mitchell

Translate to

Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
There′s a 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 the sea dreams come to me

City satins left at home, I will not need them
I believe him when he says he loves me
There′s something truthful in the sea, your lies will find you
"Leave behind your streets," he said, "And come here to me"

Come down from the neon nights
Come down from the tourist sights
Come down 'til the rain delights you
You don't have to hide
Sunlight will renew your pride

Skin white by skin golden
Like a promise to be free
Dolphins are playing in the sea
And all of your 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 you lies sleeping
Fold your fleet wings, I have brought my 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 sea dreams come to me

All his sea dreams come to me
