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 Michel?”
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're only waiting for the world to freeze"
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
