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 don'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
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 don'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 Explain Request ×
