My Ship Of Love

Loving can be a summer's day
Upon a river-bend, with fingers trailing (???).
Loving can be a stormy sea,
And with all hands you need to guide
Through channel, sea and bride / ... seems bride (???), to keep the floats and sailing.
My ship of love is coming in to harbour soon,
There's so much in my heart that I am longing to say.
My ship of love upon the blue horizon now,
Come safely home, godspeed, you're on your way.
Loving can be an empty shore,
The lonely sands of time one has to live through.
Seabird, you´ll have to feel your wings,
And now it seems so long ago
The day I whispered: "Go, I want to be coming with you."
My ship of love is coming in to harbour soon,
There's so much in my heart that I am longing to say.
My ship of love upon the blue horizon now,
Come safely home, godspeed, you're on your way.
Oh, my ship of love is coming in to harbour soon,
There's so much in my heart that I am longing to say.
My ship of love upon the blue horizon now,
Come safely home, godspeed, you're on your way.
My ship of love, godspeed, you're on your way.
