Voyage of the Moon lyrics

The moon is like a boat, my love

Of lemon peel afloat, my love

And with a sail of gauze, my love

She seems to slightly pause

Upon her silent way

All on her starry way

I see her pearly decks, my love

Set in with diamond specks, my love

I see her pearly mast, my love

Far from her seashell past

And softly does she sway

All on her starry way

Of silk they have been spun, my love

Her ropes that limply run, my love

Down to her carved prow, my love

Down to her mermaid prow

And gently does she sway

All on her starry way

She seems to linger long, my love

As if spelled by her song, my love

But know, she tarries not, my love

Her journey unforgot

She makes her starry way

She makes her starry way

All in the sea of sky, my love

The moonships sail and fly, my love

And many are their kind, my love

Tho' all need but one wind

To make their starry ways

To make their starry ways

And there will come a time, my love

O may it be in mine, my love

When men will proudly rise, my love

And board to sail the skies

Moonships from all the spheres

Moonships from all the spheres

The men be bathed in light, my love

The women clothed in white, my love

All in that wonderous fleet, my love

As each the other meets

Will smile and softly sing

Will smile and softly sing

And on some distant sand, my love

The ships will gently land, my love

Fair folk will meet them there, my love

With flowing golden hair

And great will be their joy

And great will be their joy

The moon is like a boat, my love

Of lemon peel afloat, my love

And with a sail of gauze, my love

She seems to slightly pause
