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,

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