Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor There's treasure somewhere in the sea, he will find where Never mind their questions there's no answer for
But 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 won't 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 till 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 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 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 gray 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
