Galleon Ship Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could sail a galleon ship
A long, lonely rider across the sky
Seek out mysteries while you sleep
And treasures money cannot buy
For you know I see you everywhere
A servant girl, an empress
My galleon ship will fly and fall
Fall and fly and fly and fall deep into your loveliness

[Chorus]
And if we rise my love
Before the daylight comes
A thousand galleon ships will sail
Ghostly around the morning sun

[Bridge]
As the city rises up
As the city rises up
As the city rises up
As the city rises up

[Verse 2]
For we are not alone, it seems
So many riders in the sky
The winds of longing in their sails
Searching for the other side

[Chorus]
And if we rise my love
Oh my darling, precious one
We'll stand and watch the galleon ships
Circle around the morning sun
