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-Michel?"
And she prayed for his soul and she hoped he was well
Anyway.

Refrain:
Hold on, for the sailing ships from heaven won't be long.
Play on, till the sailing ships from heaven come along.

And she laughed, "Don't be sad like the boys in the trees;
They're only waiting for the world to freeze."
She said, "When they were young they went down on their knees
For my love."

[Refrain]

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?
- It's my love."

[2 x Refrain]
