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
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
