Dreamland
Lyricist:Joni Mitchell
It's a long long way to Canada It's a long way from bow chains Donkey vendors slicing coconut No parkas to their name
Black babies covered in baking flour The cook's got a carnival song Lay down someplace shady With Dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dream on Dreamland
Walter Raleigh, Chris Columbus Come a-marchin' out of the waves And they claim the beach and concessions In the name of the sun-tan slaves
I wrapped their flag around me Like an Errol Flynn sarong And I laid down thinking national With Dreamland coming on
Good time Mary and the lady soldiers Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Talking over a glass of rum Burning on the inside With a knowledge of things to come
There's gambling out on the terrace Midnight rambling on the lawn As they lean towards temptation With Dreamland coming on
In a plane flying back to winter With shoes full of tropic sand There comes a lady in a foreign flag On the arm of her Marlboro man
The hawk howls in New York City Six-foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn As they push the recline buttons down With Dreamland coming on
African sand on the Trade Winds On the sun on the Amazon As they lean towards temptation With Dreamland coming on
