[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
I can wait the years
'Til it appears
One fine day, one spring
But the pearl and such
They won't mean much
If there's missing just one thing

[Verse 3]
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
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I can wait the years
'Til it appears
One fine day, one spring
But the pearl and such
They won't mean much
If there's missing just one thing

[Verse 3]
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
