And she played the harmonium down by the sea
Singing âGod save the USAâ
âAnd God save meâ
And though God never had
She believed Him to be
On his way
She had lived out in Paris before Paris fell
Singing âwhen will I hear again from Jean Michelle?â
And she prayed for his soul
And she hoped he was well
Anyway
[Chorus]
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven wonât be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
And she laughed
Donât 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
[Chorus]
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven wonât 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 âwhy donât you ask me why I feel no pain?â
And the reason that keeps me from going insane
Thatâs my love
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Hold on
For the sailing ships from heaven wonât be long
Play on
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along
