| [00:00] |
The moon is like a boat, my love |
| [00:11] |
And with a sail of gauze, my love |
| [00:17] |
She seems to slightly pause |
| [00:22] |
Upon her silent way, all on her starry way. |
| [00:41] |
I see her pearly decks, my love |
| [00:53] |
I see her pearly mast, my love |
| [00:58] |
Far from her seashell past |
| [01:02] |
And softly does she sway, all on her starry way. |
| [01:21] |
Of silk they have been spun, my love |
| [01:27] |
Her ropes that limply run, my love |
| [01:33] |
Down to her carved prow, my love |
| [01:38] |
Down to her mermaid prow |
| [01:43] |
And softly does she sway, all on her starry way. |
| [02:02] |
She seems to linger long, my love |
| [02:08] |
As if spelled by a song, my love |
| [02:14] |
But know she tarries not my love |
| [02:19] |
A journey unforgot |
| [02:24] |
She makes her starry way, she makes her starry way. |
| [02:43] |
All in the sea of sky, my love |
| [02:49] |
The moonships sail and fly, my love |
| [02:54] |
And many are their kind, my love |
| [03:00] |
Though all need but one wind |
| [03:05] |
To make their starry ways, to make their starry ways. |
| [03:23] |
And there will come a time, my love |
| [03:29] |
O may it be in mine, my love |
| [03:35] |
When men will proudly rise, my love |
| [03:41] |
And board to sail the skies |
| [03:46] |
Moonships from all the spheres, moonships from all the spheres. |
| [04:05] |
The man be bathed in light, my love |
| [04:11] |
The woman clothed in white, my love |
| [04:17] |
All in that woundrous fleet, my love |
| [04:22] |
As each the other meets |
| [04:27] |
Will smile and softly sing, will smile and softly sing. |
| [04:46] |
And on some distant sand, my love |
| [04:52] |
The ships will gently land, my love |
| [04:58] |
Fair folk will meet them there, my love |
| [05:03] |
With flowing golden hair |
| [05:08] |
And great will be their joy, and great will be their joy. |
| [05:27] |
The moon is like a boat, my love |
| [05:33] |
Of lemon peel afloat, my love |
| [05:39] |
And with a sail of gauze, my love |
| [05:45] |
She seems to slightly pause. |
| [00:05.30] |
Of lemon peel afloat, my love |
| [00:46.10] |
Set in with diamond specks, my love |
