Lyrics

He was not too hard to handle
So she gave him the kindness of her hand
He had the smooth skin of a girl
He moved like water through the sand
Out along the green fields
He said I do she said I will
Looking forward
Headed for the coast of Brazil
Through the eye of a curtained window
She framed the portrait of her world
She'd watch as the sun stood waiting
Called herself a shadow of a girl
Autumn kissed the summer
And she packed her things in the morning chill
Left the lace in the window waving
Headed for the coast of Brazil
He lived the life of a beggar
But he was born a banker's only son
He was born an angel without wings
To the lady of Spain in old San Juan
Down at the harbor
They held their breath and stood still
Then they boarded a slow boat
Headed for the coast of Brazil
Pray for the faithful
Pray for the dreams that never rest
Pray for the pilgrim
Pray for the hope inside the breast
Pray for the good ones
'Cause heaven never has its fill
Pray for the ones still waiting
Headed for the coast of Brazil
Pray for the ones still waiting
Headed for the coast of Brazil
Fear ye not, fear ye not
For with my hand I will lead you on
Safely I'll guide your little boat
Beyond this vale of sorrow
