Lyrics for My Ship
My ship has sails that are made of silk There's a paradise in the hold My ship's aglow with a million pearls And rubies fill each bin The sun sits high on a sapphire sky 'Til my ship comes in I can wait the years 'til it appears One fine day in one spring But the pearls and such, they won't mean much If there's missing just this thing I do not care if that day arrives My dream needs never have been 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
