Still you don'

              
t expect to be

And I dreamed 

I was dying
              
I dreamed that

           
 my soul rose 

          
unexpectedly
              
And looking ba

           
ck down on me,

             
 smiled reassu

    
ringly
              
And I dreamed 

      
I was flying
             
And high up ab

            
ove my eyes co

           
uld clearly se

Liberty - sail

           
ing away to se

a
            
And I dreamed 

      
I was flying

             
For we come on

            
 the ship they

            
 call Mayflowe

We come on the

          
 ship that sai

        
led the moon
             
We come in the

          
 age's most un

           
certain hours,

           
 and sing an A
