Ghost Ships

Half moon presided at the covenant we made
A heron traced a wing across our course
The arc of a rainbow, the curve of the earth
The bows in my back and my belly when I gave birth
Half moon
It's been so long but you left too soon

The fair wind that filled our sails at morning light
Would rustle in the rigging where we lay
Out on the deck, a blanket of stars
Rolling up and down along those waves of ours
Fair wind
Does every journey have to end?

Ghost ships, sailing
My love is unending as
Open ocean
On, and on, and on
I've found dry ground
But wherever your wind blows my ghost ships go with you

Red sand received me when I washed in on the waves
So I rose out of the ocean and you drifted away
The tide went out, and came back again
To fill the faint impressions of my footprints in
Red sand
I still know how to walk on land

Ghost ships, sailing
My love is unending as
Open ocean
On, and on, and on
I've found dry ground
But wherever your wind blows my ghost ships go with you

Ghost ships, sailing
My love is unending as
Open ocean
On, and on, and on
I've found dry ground
But wherever your wind blows my ghost ships go with you
