- at this point return to beginning of bridge and start again with...

dying trees still will grow greener when you pray

silver scales flash bright and fade in reeds along the shore
like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade His ship comes shining
like a crystal swan in a sky of suns, His ship comes shining


addendum: the Fsus2 in the line "conjured up by wind and sunlight" should 
be Fsus2 (version 2)

hope this is clear enough
