My Ship lyrics

My ship has sails that are made of silk

The decks are trimmed with gold

And of jam and spice

there's a paradise in the hold.

My ship's aglow with a million pearls

And rubies fill each bin

The sun sits high in a sapphire sky

when my ship comes in.

I can wait the years till it appears

One fine day in spring,

But the pearls and such they won't mean much

If there's missing just one thing...

I do not care if that day arrives,

That dream need never be,

If that ship I sing doesn't also bring

My own true love to me.
