Lyrics Kingdom of Childhood - Joan Baez
(Words
and
Music
by
Joan
Baez)
The
ship
that
sails
the
seven
seas
Has
finally
brought
me
to
my
knees
It′s
not
much
to
my
liking
The
people
standing
on
the
rock
Are
innocent
and
they
know
not
That
the
tide
comes
in
Death
rides
it
like
a
Viking
The
mountains
rise
above
the
mist
And
the
golden
prince
I've
never
kissed
He
may
die
tonight
And
why
do
I
want
to
ride
with
The
prince
whose
alleged
horse
is
white?
Because
when
we
ride
together
Our
lives
are
cloaked
forever
Happiness
is
temporary
Believe
me,
I
know
It
can
arrive
as
a
shining
crystal
And
leave
as
the
melting
snow
Come
all
you
lads
and
lasses
The
Kingdom
of
Childhood
passes
Oh,
but
I
am
hardy
in
these
years
Or
I′d
have
sunk
down
with
my
tears
To
the
earth
beneath
my
feet
I
want
to
endure
the
slings
and
arrows
That
Hamlet
spoke
about
But
harrowed,
He
was
forced
to
a
ragged
defeat
There
was
a
method
to
his
madness
But
overcome
by
pride
and
sadness
He
did
not
endure
Surely
his
death
was
a
grave
mistake
How
many
deaths
do
we
really
calculate?
Isn't
it
true,
Lord
Tragedies
happen
when
you're
bored?
Happiness
is
temporary
Believe
me,
I
know
It
can
arrive
as
a
shining
crystal
And
leave
as
the
melting
snow
Come
all
you
lads
and
lasses
The
Kingdom
of
Childhood
passes
You
archangels,
you
have
some
nerve
To
watch
all
of
this
you
are
absurd
You
even
have
a
choice
Do
you
know
all?
I
think
you
may
And
what
is
there
for
you
to
say
But
understand
Why
God
took
back
your
voice
SIlence
is
golden,
I
believe
And
you
are
worth
your
weight
In
wreaths
of
purest
gold
While
we
are
here
with
debts
and
bets
And
aircraft
carriers
and
jets
I
call
out
fruitlessly
Give
me
an
archangel
for
company
Happiness
is
temporary
Believe
me,
I
know
It
can
arrive
as
a
shining
crystal
And
leave
as
the
melting
snow
Come
all
you
lads
and
lasses
The
Kingdom
of
Childhood
passes
Me
in
the
woods
at
the
break
of
dawn
The
candles
of
the
night
still
on
The
chimes
ring
from
the
hollow
I
too
am
worth
my
weight
in
gold
But
the
fishmonger
and
I
are
old
When
the
mint
runs
out
Our
real
lives
will
follow
It
was
misfortune
who
woke
you
up
To
pour
you
the
dregs
from
her
broken
cup
Cast
her
aside
The
sunrise
will
appear
with
the
mockingbird
Who
stays
deep
in
the
canyon
and
is
heard
Glorious
in
his
song
He
cannot
be
wrong
Happiness
is
temporary
Believe
me,
I
know
It
can
arrive
as
a
shining
crystal
And
leave
as
the
melting
snow
Come
all
you
lads
and
lasses
The
Kingdom
of
Childhood
passes
There′s
another
one
just
beyond
Act
quickly
before
it′s
gone
