Sleek White Schooner

Lyrics for Sleek White Schooner

I dreamed I saw you sailing in Upon a sleek white schooner You were skimming over the shallow seas, Coming into harbour, Healing on your brow In the hard, fateful, brand new Twenty-first century The cargo you were carrying Was richer than riches, Golder than gold and yet more real than real And the light that came a-flashing From the new born babe in your arms Was a pealing of thunder, a cannonball flying A sun exploding, Dawn in the heart of me I stood there on the shoreline Looking out over to sea And I watched your white sail Sparkling on the horizon You were coming into harbour Healing on your brow In the hard, fateful, brand new Twenty-first century
