作词 : Donovan
From the album sunshine superman
I will bring you gold apples 
and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of 
a prince of the breeze.
Bright cascading crystals, 
they danced in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints 
to harpsichord tunes.
A throne of white ivory, 
a gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic 
of a timeless place.
One hundred small children, 
they laugh at the white doves
That rest on their hands 
with the touch of love.
On a hillside of velvet 
the children they lay down
And make fun of the grown-ups 
with their silly frown.
And the sound of their laughter 
is the sound of the green sea
As it washed around the foot of 
the seashell tree.
The doves circle over 
and land in the trees
Where parrots are talking 
their words with such ease.
Thus spoke three wizards 
to the young ones that day:
»There’s sadness in the kingdom, 
make it go far away.«
If you follow the sunbeams 
through the valley of flowers
To the palace of the White Queen 
with its white jade towers.
The youngest, she sighed then 
the clouds drew away
And a hundred small fingers 
scratched their heads in dismay.
From out of the sun a 
giant gull came flying
And the children got ready 
to sit on its wings.
They waved to the raindrops 
as they soared over the trees
The wind tossed their hair high, 
flashing gold on the sea.
They came to the castle 
and there they did fall,
And they saw all the sadness, 
through the crystal wall.
A princess lay a-sleeping 
so gentle and kind
Whilst her prince took to battle 
with his confused mind.
The clash of bright metal 
brought the children fear,
But their cloaks of blue satin 
dried up all of these tears.
Thus children held hands and 
they spelled out their name
All the golden children 
became a golden chain.
It lies on a white throne 
in a magic place
With a tunic of velvet 
and a gown of white lace.
My sword, it lies broken 
and cast in a lake
In a dream I was told that 
my princess would wake.
