The Sky Children
Ton : CEnglish
A Ammillion white Gflowers in a Ffield in the sky
Seemed to Cspell out a greeting as the Fchildren flew by
A Amguard in a Gchariot of Fsilver and gold
Gave the Cchildren all tickets, then the Fstory he told
Of a Amtime in the Gfuture that was Fsunshine and flowers
And the Cchildren grew sleepy in the Fsky's white towers
They Amdreamed of the Gstory that the Fguard had displayed
They Csaw all the wonders, tiny Fminds were amazed
They Amsaw candy Gforests and Fdragons that breathed fire
On Call that was evil in the Fmisty mireC
C G
They Amcame to the Gvillage where the Fturtles in caves
Made Cpies for the people and the Flemonade
The Ampeople lived Gout by the Fsea and each day
The Cseagulls would wake them as they Fpassed on their way
The Ampeople were Gkindly, they would Fsing to the sky
And each Cbright new morning, the sun Fshone from their eyes
The Amchildren passed Gover and all the Fpeople could see
As they Cdived from the sky to the Ftreacle sea
They Ambathed on the Gwhite sand, minutes Fturned into hours
And the Cchildren all giggled and gave Feach other flowersC
C G
The Amking from his Gcastle came Fdown to the sea
And he Cspoke to the children so Fpatiently
He Amgave them small Gpresents and Fbid them farewell
And the Cchildren unwrapped them, tiny Fsilver bells
Their Amtinkling Gfloated across the Fisland with ease
And it Ccame back toward them on the Fperfume breeze
They Amsmiled at the Gtinkling, they Fgazed at the sun
And they Csmiled at each other, Fpretty little ones
A Ambeautiful Gwhite horse came Fdown to the sea
And the Cchildren all climbed up as he Fknelt on one kneeC
C G
They Amrode through the Gvalleys and Fhigh over hills
And they Claughed oh so loudly, their Ffear to kill
They Amcame to a Glakeside of Fdeep velvet and green
And they Call stared in wonder at its Fbeauty serene
They Amclimbed from the Gwhite horse, they Fwatch as it goes
As they Cstood by the green lake for to Fkiss their toes
A Amboat in the Gdistance was Fsuddenly there
Waiting Cto take the children to Fanywhere
The Amporcupine Gcaptain said that Fhe didn't mind
In his Ccoat of black needles, Fhe looked very kindC
C G
His Amcrew were six Grabbits with Ffluffy white ears
And the Cchildren all stroked them and Flost all their fears
They Amsailed through the Gsunshine, a--Fcross the green lake
And they Cdrank lemonade and they Fate ice-cream cake
They Amlanded in a Gdark cave as the Fboat disappeared
And they Call stood in darkness, through the Fshadows they peered
But Amout of the Gblackness shone Fdiamonds so bright
Their Ctiny white hands shielded Feyes from the light
In a Ampool of quick--Gsilver stood FNeptune so wise
And Cpearls were his white teeth, bright Fdiamonds his eyesC
C G C G
He Amspoke to the Gchildren in a Fvoice of velvet
And he Cbeckoned them to him, in a Fcircle they sat
He Amtold of sky Gisland and of Fhis magic cave
And Cmagic pink seashells to the Fchildren he gave
They Amlistened Gintently as the Fmusic came far
From the Cmagic pink seashells and Fnobody talked
But AmNeptune had Gvanished when they Flifted their eyes
CSo they walked from the cave as two Fkingfishers cried
In the Ambright shiny Gsunlight, they got Fdown on one knee
They Clistened to the sea shells of the Fmusical seaC
G C G
But the Amday grew much Gdarker, so they Fclimbed on the breeze
And they Cfloated to the village, and the Fpeople were pleased
To Amsee them so Ghappy with their Ftinkling bells
And the Cpeople all listened to the Fmusical shells
But the Amchildren were so Gsad, the time Fhad come to leave
So the Cpeople waved goodbye and Fbegged them to believe
Of the Amwonders they Ghad seen in the Fisland of the sky
And the Cchildren said they would and Faway they did fly
Through the Amwhite clouds of no Gtime 'til for--Fever it seems
And the Cchildren stayed children and they Flived in their dreamsC G
