Voyage Of The Moon Lyrics - Postcard - Mary Hopkin

The moon is like a boat my love 

Of lemon peel afloat my love 

And with a sail of gauze my love 

She seems to slightly pause 

Upon her silent way 

All on her starry way 

I see her pearly decks my love 

Set in with diamond specks my love 

I see her pearly mast my love 

Far from her seashell past 

And softly does she sway 

All on her starry way 

Of silk they have been spun my love 

Her ropes that limply run my love 

Down to her carved prow my love 

Down to her mermaid prow 

And gently does she sway 

All on her starry way 

She seems to linger long my love 

as if spell'd by a song my love 

But no she tarries not my love 

Her journey unforgot 

She makes her starry way 

She makes her starry way 

All in the sea of sky my love 

The moonships sail and fly my love 

And many are their kind my love 

Though all need but one wind 

To make their starry ways 

To make their starry ways 

And there will come a time my love 

O may it be in mine my love 

When men will proudly rise my love 

And board to sail the skies 

Moonships from all the spheres 

Moonships from all the spheres 

The men be bathed in light my love 

The women clothed in white my love 

All in that wondrous fleet my love 

As each the other meets 

Will smile and softly sing 

Will smile and softly sing 

And on some distant sand my love 

The ships will gently land my love 

Fair folk will meet them there my love 

With flowing golden hair 

And great will be their joy 

and great will be their joy 

The moon is like a boat my love 

Of lemon peel afloat my love 

And with a sail of gauze my love 

She seems to slightly pause...
