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

Whoa, ship comes in
Yeah

I can wait the years 'til 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 back to me

If the ship I sing doesn't also bring my true love, oh no
Bring my true love, oh
Bring my true love
Back to me
Oh-oh-oh oh oh oh
