Ship of Dreams

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
