My ship has sails
that are made of silk
Its 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 they're still missing just one thing
I do not care if that day arrives That dream need never ever be
If the ship I sail
doesn't also bring
My own true love to me
The ship I sail
doesn't also bring My own
true love to me
