When The Ship Comes Home

[Verse 1:]
Sometimes when I'm weary
And the world seems gray, and the firelight flicker blue
Somewhere in the future
Maybe far away, there are dreams that may come true
Cinderella's story is so lovely to pretend
Someday to my story too, may have a happy end

[Chorus:]
When my ship comes home, when my ship comes home
Silks and velvets and cloth of gold
Caskets bursting with wealth, untold
When my ship comes home, through thе world I'll roam
Open skies above mе
Someone dear to love me
When my ship comes, home

[Verse 2:]
Life is nothing but a game of make believe
Until true love comes your way
Such a dreary pattern through the years you weave
If you can't afford to pay
Fate is sometimes cold, and a new dawn soon may break
Every single jewel, I'll be wearing for your sake

[Chorus/Outro:]
When my ship comes home, when my ship comes home
No more waiting through empty years
Pearls and diamonds in place of tears
When my ship comes home, through the world I'll roam
Open skies above me
Someone dear to love me
When my ship comes home
When my ship, comes home
