The White Ship Lyrics

The white ship has sailed and left me here again
Out in the mist, I was so near again
Sailing on the sea of dreams
How far away it seems
Sailing upon the white ship

Home through the night, here in my darkened room
Sails of white, across the misty moon
Floating across the sky
Burning into my eye
Sailing upon the white ship

Out of my mind nothing flows
Alone on the shore, but that's how it goes
Everyone knows
How the wind blows
The white ship

Out of my mind nothing flows
Alone on the shore, but that's how it goes
Everyone knows
How the wind blows
The white ship

The white ship has sailed, and left me here again
Out in the mist, I was so near again
Sailing on the sea of dreams
How far away it seems
Sailing upon the white ship
Sailing upon the white ship
Sailing upon the white ship

Cover art for The White Ship lyrics by H.P. Lovecraft

This song has moved me every time I have heard it. From the very first time to right now.

I lived and worked in Los Angeles the night Bobby Kennedy was shot and a local FM radio station played the song continuously for that night and the next day as a tribute and shared heavy heart of our loss.

Sad song for a sad time.
