Lyrics
Soon, the merchant of dreams will come
Look for his ship in the setting western sun
Thirty cents for a walk in the meadow
A nickle more to fall in love
Two quarters for a swim in the ocean
Or in the stars above
Look for his ship in the setting western sun
Look for his ship in the setting western sun
Background
When my wife and I found out we were expecting a baby girl, I decided to write her a lullaby. I liked the whimsical idea of a traveling marine merchant who sells dreams. As it turns out, my daughter prefers Hilary Duff's "Come Clean" to my music. Which is fair.
