My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice, there's a paradise
A paradise in the hold
My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
And the sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in
I can wait the years, 'til it appears
One fine day, one 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 the ship I sing does not also bring
My own true love to me
If the ship I sing does not also bring
My own true love to me
