The Dawntreader by Joni Mitchell

Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
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 song that the rigging makes
The tase of the spray he takes and he learnes to live, 
He aches and he learnes to live, 
he stakes all his silver on a promise to be free        
Mermaids live in colonies all his seadreams   come  to me
 
City satins left at home  I will not need them 
I believe him when he tells of loving me 
Something truthfull in the sea your lies will find you 
Leave behind your streets he said and come to me
Come down from the neon nights 
Come down from the tourist sites 
Run down till the rain delights you
You do not hide 
Sunlight will renew your pride 
Skin white by skin golden 
Like a promise to be free 
Dolphins playing in the sea 
All his seadreams 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 wile he lies sleeping 
Fold your fleet wings I have brought some 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 rm	
Like a promise to be free 
Children laughing out to sea  
All his seadreams come to me 
All his seadreams come to me
