Sleek White Schooner - The Waterboys

I dreamed I saw you sailing in

Upon a sleek white schooner

You were skimming over the shallow seas

Coming into harbour

Healing on your brow

In the hard, fateful, brand new

Twenty-first century

The cargo you were carrying

Was richer than riches

Golder than gold and yet more real than real

And the light that came a-flashing

From the new born babe in your arms

Was a pealing of thunder, a cannonball flying

A sun exploding, dawn in the heart of me

I stood there on the shoreline

Looking out over to sea

And I watched your white sail

Sparkling on the horizon

You were coming into harbour

Healing on your brow

In the hard, fateful, brand new

Twenty-first century
