Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Galleon Ship Lyrics

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

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

As the city rises up, as the city rises up, as the city rises up

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

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