Lyrics Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Galleon Ship

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

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
