My Ship

LETRA

My Ship

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, 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 doesn't also bring
My own 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 own true love to me.
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
My own true love to me.
