My Ship Lyrics - Cedar! - Cedar Walton

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 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, 

If the ship I sing doesn't aalso bring my own true love to me.
