Katie Melua - Sailing Ships From Heaven lyrics

Tweet

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. Please do, 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. Please do, 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. Please do, Til the sailing ships from heaven come along.

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.
Please do,
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.
Please do,
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.
Please do,
Til the sailing ships from heaven come along.
