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
