Ship of dreams!
Ship of dreams, take me!
I want to distance myself from destiny,
I’m asking you from the breeze of years,
I want to be in the bottom of you forever!
Ship of dreams, take me!
I’m asking you from the breeze of years,
I want to be in the bottom of you forever!
Ship of dreams, take me!
Take me, I want to sink in the blue latitude
I wish that our mistakes never overtake us,
So far away, me and you alone,
Let’s see us on the cloud together,
Take me, I want to sink in the blue latitude,
I wish that our mistakes never overtake us,
So far away, me and you alone,
Let’s see us on the cloud together,
Take me, I want to sink in the blue latitude,
There is no suspicion in my soul, and no unfulfilled wish of you,
Unfulfilled wishes are strangers to you,
Because dreaming of you is no cure in the soul,
I imagine you a hundred times a second,
There is no suspicion in my soul, and no unfulfilled wish of you!
Unfulfilled wishes are strangers to you,
Because dreaming of you is no cure in the soul,
I imagine you a hundred times a second,
There is no suspicion in my soul, and no unfulfilled wish of you!
The sun is the leader to us in the day,
At night, the stars and the moon light our ways,
Soul mates in the blue sky,
And blue seas give us help,
The sun and stars are leaders to us!
At night, the stars and the moon light our ways,
Soul mates in the blue sky,
And blue seas give us help,
The sun and stars are leaders to us!
Ship of dreams, take me,
Take me, I want to live in you forever,
And forget the past and everyone and everything,
In the other world, me, you and creative work!
Ship of dreams, take me!
Take me, I want to live in you forever,
And forget the past and everyone and everything,
In the other world, me, you and creative work!
Ship of dreams, take me!
Ship of Dreams -- Dean Morrissey
The title "Ship of Dreams" was used by at least two popular rock bands and share some of the themes of this poem, though all three are quite distinct from one another. The first is by Nazareth:
ReplyDeleteHere we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And I
I only exist to believe
The stars
The stars that I see watching me
Hold me close
Your arms and your love comfort me
The sea
Is deep and it waits endlessly
Oh why
To give just to take it from me
Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And I
I watch for a sign constantly
The sea
Is deep and it waits ceaselessly.
-- Manny Charlton
The other is by Dire Straits:
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 kill 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 assistance
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
--David Knopfler
