Swallowed in the Sea

This song has some of the most beautiful lyrics that I've heard, and it's been going through my mind all day. Only Chris Martin could make a sad song cheer me up.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. - Oscar Wilde

Clouds, like pirate ships passing,
on a calm and stormless sea,
and stars like grey dabloons
dropping carelessly.

The ghost towns in the night,
have falen into peace.
And the dragon in the forest
has sunken sound to sleep.

It is a blessing in the darkness,
to walk under a cloak of invisibility.
And the winds are calm tonight,
on the Sea of Galilee.

The oracle at Delphi told me,
I'd meet a Persian prince.
And that my sould would be calm thereafter,
and it has been ever since.

I filled a flask from the fountain of youth,
and sipped it at the top of an Egyptian alter,
where O'Ryan let me shoot his bow,
but we said our goodbyes soon after.

I want to argue with Zues once,
I think I could win that fight.
I've never been to Spain,
but my lover says it's alright.

I haven't yet solved the Sphinx's question,
the answer to that damn riddle.
I think it has something to do with a cow,
and a cat who plays a fiddle.

Dreams are all there are,
that speak to us in the night,
and morning comes to chase them,
into shadows out of sight.

And the evening's lonely wanderer,
can crawl sorely into bed.
And the sunshine's golden rays,
will never touch her head.

We will walk with dreams tomorrow,
after we chase the sun down in the west.
Goodnight my lovely dreamer,
and with morning's light have rest...
