My Ship

My ship has sails that are made of silk

The decks all 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 sets 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 don't mean much

If they're missing just one thing

I do not care if that day arrives

That dream need never be

If the ship I sing

Doesn't also bring

My one true love to me

I do not care if that day arrives

That dream need never be

If the ship I sing

Doesn't also bring

My one true love to me

If the ship I sing

Doesn't also bring

My one true love to me
