Jubal and the Morning Star

1) Jubal has a sailing ship. And every night he climbs aboard the Morning Star to see she's snug and tight. Sometimes he takes the Milky Way to the Pleides, and spends the night exploring galaxies. CHO Jubal sail away, on the soundless sea Then sail you home, to me. 2) He discovered, that the moon's a silvery fish swimming through the sea of night inside a crystal dish. And all the starfish stars are shining merrily - And the Earth is a seashell - in the sea. CHO 3) He's braved the storms of Oberon. And once on Mars - he sailed the chartless Red Canals - and fought the Minotaurs. He ran the Cosmic Wind - and when he came about he rode the Rainbow Wave behind the Rainbow trout. CHO 4) And when he sees the coral sun rise in the sky - he sets a course for Scorpio - west of Gemini. And if you see a star, that's falling all alone - it's the Morning Star and Jubal - sailing home. CHO 5) Jubal has a sailing ship - And every night he climbs aboard the Morning Star to see she's snug and tight. Sometimes he sails the hidden Bay of Mercury - and when he comes home - we'll have a jubilee! CHO
