[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
