The Ship On His Arm Lyrics - Hard Bargain - Emmylou Harris

"Where are you now" 

She writes, "Where are you now, my love? 

Do you have food to eat, shoes for your tired feet 

Am I the one you're dreaming of?" 

"Do you know how I miss you 

How I long to kiss you 

Pray for the day you will come 

Back to me, my darling one" 

He thinks about her 

All through the long watches of night 

The bullets are flying, young men are dying 

He prays for the first crack of light 

And when he can finally slip into his dream 

She'll sweep on the sweet web she has woven 

And for a while they are one

When she kisses the ship on his arm 

All of his sorrows unravel 

He knows he will come to another one 

Over all of the miles he has traveled 

Her love is an anchor 

Her love is forever 

It's true now her love is the charm 

When she kisses the ship on his arm 

Blessed are they, these fearless young lovers 

Their lives are just barely begun 

Blessed is the day they return to each other 

After all of the battles are done 

And finally they are one 

When she kisses the ship on his arm 

And all of their sorrows unravel 

They've come through the eye of the storm 

Unafraid of the miles left to travel

Their love is an anchor 

Love is forever 

It's true now that love is the truth 

When she kisses the ship on his arm
