My ship has sails that are made of silk
There's a paradise in the hold
My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high on a sapphire sky
'Til my ship comes in
I can wait the years 'til it appears
One fine day in one spring
But the pearls and such, they won't mean much
If there's missing just this thing
I do not care if that day arrives
My dream needs never have been
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
