| Lyrics: | The moon is like a boat, my love,
Of lemon peel afloat, my love,
And with a sail of gauze,
my love,
And seems to slightlty pause
Upon her silent way,
All on her silent
way.
I see her pearly decks, my love,
Set in with twinkling specks, my love,
I
see her pearly mast, my love
Far from her seashell past
And gently 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 the carved prow, my love,
Down to her mermaid prow
And softly does
she sway
All on her starry way.
All in ther Sea of Sky, my love,
The moonships
sail and fly, my love,
Though many are their kind, my love,
Though all need but one
wind
To make their starry way,
To make their starry way.
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 woundrous fleet, my love,
As each the other meets
Will smile and
softly sing,
Will smile and softly .
And on some distant sand, my love,
The
ships will genlty land, my love.
Fair folk will meet them there, my love,
With golden
flowing 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,
And seems to slightlty pause
Upon her silent way.
All on her silent way |
