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 the sapphire sky
When my ship comes in

I can wait the years 'til it appears
Some fine day, some 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
