David Knopfler - Ship of Dreams lyrics

Sleep she now enfolds me Spirals the circus tent These spirits who enclose me Like phantom dogs ascend Some they need a song of love When old friends feel like ghosts For some the sweet redemption song's The thing they crave the most On the ship of dreams But tonight we ride the Ship of Dreams Where the Saints and Holy Host Ride shotgun o'er crescent waves To sail from coast to coast Some travel to their treasure Some falter at the gate Each pilgrim makes their journey Each must meet their fate On The Ship of Dreams Some say "love will find us" As I lay you down to sleep To the rhythms that entwine us You pray your soul to keep But tonight we ride the Ship of Dreams Where Saints and Holy Host Ride shotgun o'er crescent waves To sail from coast to coast Some travel for the sacraments Some travel for the thrill Each must k** that thing they love Each must test their will In the Ship of Dreams The Ship of Dreams is sailing To seek the farthest shore And the songs of celebration Reveal a secret world Shimmering through the smoke and haze Like a spooked out man-o-war It's the Ship of Dreams... All Aboard! If you're blown apart and shattered If you're ripped from stern to bow If you're looking for a**istance If you really need it now The Ship of Dreams is sailing Way to the farthest shore She's sailing on the coming tide And I must be aboard That Ship of Dreams Yeah the Ship of Dreams is sailing And I must climb aboard Join me in The Ship of Dreams We'll reach the farthest shore It's the Ship - of - dreams... all aboard
