My Ship
My ship has sails that are made of silkThe decks are trimmed with goldAnd of jam and spicethere's a paradise in the hold.
My ship's aglow with a million pearlsAnd rubies fill each binThe sun sits high in a sapphire skywhen my ship comes in.
I can wait the years till it appearsOne fine day in spring,But the pearls and such they won't mean muchIf 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 bringMy own true love to me.
