The Dandelion Marine

The dandelion marine
From Tumbledown to Stonehenge
Was a long way down a rocky road

The dandelion marine
For plymouth and court martial
Recurring dreams
Where friends explode

The dandelion marine
Returns to mother England
Her copper coins and cloudy days
Her rosey boys and girls
With minds on half-day closing
Red pillar boxes for the mail
To Stanley when the ship sets sail

The dandelion marine
Joined the travelling people
Having served The Queen
He found a home

The dandelion marine
His mother keeps his medals
On the mantlepiece
And prays he'll phone

The dandelion marine
Her sleeping hills
And fields of grain
The ragged caravans
And smoky hair at breakfast
The other side of Salisbury plain
Dreaming in a shower of rain

The dandelion marine
Return to mother England
Her copper coins and cloudy days
Her rosey boys and girls
With minds on half-day closing
Red pillar boxes for the mail
To Stanley when the ship sets sail
