Roses for Columbus

	Roses for Columbus
	He’s found another land
	Oysters from the children
	Fall between their hands
	Roses for Columbus
	Who sleeps on virgin sands
	Flowers from the children
	Fall between their hands
	He lies upon the ochre sands
	And tells them what he saw
	To his health they drink his eastern rum
	And dance upon the shore
	And when there’s silence
	And only the ocean’s sound
	He gently turns his bearded head
	“You know, the world is round”
	Fingers full of eastern rings
	Pockets full of gold
	Open up his yellow map
	You’ll find another fold
	Roses for Columbus
	Who sails with silk and lace
	Behind unknown horizons
	He’ll find another face

	Roses for Columbus
	He' s found another land
	Oysters from the children
	Fall between their hands
	Roses for Columbus
	Who sleeps on virgin sands
	Flowers from the children
	Fall between their hands
	He lies upon the ochre sands
	And tells them what he saw
	To his health they drink his eastern rum
	And dance upon the shore
	And when there' s silence
	And only the ocean' s sound
	He gently turns his bearded head
	" You know, the world is round"
	Fingers full of eastern rings
	Pockets full of gold
	Open up his yellow map
	You' ll find another fold
	Roses for Columbus
	Who sails with silk and lace
	Behind unknown horizons
	He' ll find another face
