caves\r\nMade pies for the people and the lemonade\r\nThe people lived out by the sea and each day\r\nThe seagulls would wake them as they passed on their way\r\nThe people were kindly, they would sing to the sky\r\nAnd each bright new morning, the sun shone from their eyes\r\nThe children passed over and all the people could see\r\nAs they dived from the sky to the treacle sea\r\nThey bathed on the white sand, minutes turned into hours\r\nAnd the children all giggled and gave each other flowers\r\n\r\nThe King from his castle came down to the sea\r\nAnd he spoke to the children so patiently\r\nHe gave them small presents and bid them farewell\r\nAnd the children unwrapped them, tiny silver bells\r\nTheir tinkling floated across the island with ease\r\nAnd it came back toward them on the perfume breeze\r\nThey smiled at the tinkling, they gazed at the sun\r\nAnd they smiled at each other, pretty little ones\r\nA beautiful white horse came down to the sea\r\nAnd the children all climbed up as he knelt on one knee\r\n\r\nThey rode through the valleys and high over hills\r\nAnd they laughed oh so loudly, their fear to kill\r\nThey came to a lakeside of deep velvet and green\r\nAnd they all stared in wonder at its beauty serene\r\nThey climbed from the white horse, they watch as it goes\r\nAs they stood by the green lake for to kiss their toes\r\nA boat in the distance was suddenly there\r\nWaiting to take the children to anywhere\r\nThe porcupine captain said that he didn't mind\r\nIn his coat of black needles, he looked very kind\r\n\r\nHis crew were six rabbits with fluffy white ears\r\nAnd the children all stroked them and lost all their fears\r\nThey sailed through the sunshine, across the green lake\r\nAnd they drank lemonade and they ate ice-cream cake\r\nThey landed in a dark cave as the boat disappeared\r\nAnd they all stood in darkness, through the shadows they peered\r\nBut out of the blackness shone diamonds so bright\r\nTheir tiny white hands shielded eyes from the light\r\nIn a pool of quicksilver stood Neptune so wise\r\nAnd pearls were his white teeth, bright diamonds his eyes\r\n\r\nHe spoke to the children in a voice of velvet\r\nAnd he beckoned them to him, in a circle they sat\r\nHe told of sky island and of his magic cave\r\nAnd magic pink seashells to the children he gave\r\nThey listened intently as the music came far\r\nFrom the magic pink seashells and nobody talked\r\nBut Neptune had vanished when they lifted their eyes\r\nSo they walked from the cave as two kingfishers cried\r\nIn the bright shiny sunlight, they got down on one knee\r\nThey listened to the sea shells of the musical sea\r\n\r\nBut the day grew much darker, so they climbed on the breeze\r\nAnd they floated to the village, and the people were pleased\r\nTo see them so happy with their tinkling bells\r\nAnd the people all listened to the musical shells\r\nBut the children were so sad, the time had come to leave\r\nSo the people waved goodbye and begged them to believe\r\nOf the wonders they had seen in the island of the sky\r\nAnd the children said they would and away they did fly\r\nThrough the white clouds of no time till forever it seems\r\nAnd the children stayed children and they lived in their dreams","plain_text":"[Intro]\nC C G\n\n\n\nA guard in a chariot of silver and gold\nGave the children all tickets, then
