Mary Hopkin - Voyage of The Moon lyrics

The moon is like a boat my love Of lemon peel afloat my love And with a sail of gauze my love She seems to slightly pause Upon her silent way All on her starry way I see her pearly decks my love Set in with diamond specks my love I see her pearly mast my love Far from her seashell past And softly 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 her carved prow my love Down to her mermaid prow And gently does she sway All on her starry way She seems to linger long my love as if spell'd by a song my love But no she tarries not my love Her journey unforgot She makes her starry way She makes her starry way All in the sea of sky my love The moonships sail and fly my love And many are their kind my love Though all need but one wind To make their starry ways To make their starry ways 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 wondrous fleet my love As each the other meets Will smile and softly sing Will smile and softly sing And on some distant sand my love The ships will gently land my love Fair folk will meet them there my love With flowing golden 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 She seems to slightly pause...
