My Ship 1941 'Lady In The Dark'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Dec 2002

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.
