Katie Melua - Sailing Ships from Heaven lyrics
[Katie Melua - Sailing Ships from Heaven lyrics]
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 Michelle?"
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 will be waiting for the world to face
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
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 Michelle?"
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 will be waiting for the world to face
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
