about

My Ship is the final song from the 1941
Broadway musical Lady in the Dark. It tells the
story of a woman undergoing psychoanalytic
treatment for disturbing dreams, a theme that
pervades the musical. The song is sung in full
during the finale, showing the treatment worked
and her anxiety resolved.

[For Kurt Weill’s biography see: Kiddush]

lyrics

My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice
There’s a paradise
In the hold
My ship’s aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high
In a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in
I can wait the years
Till it appears
One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They won’t mean much
If there’s missing just one thing
I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing
Doesn’t also bring
My own true love to me
If the ship I sing
Doesn’t also bring
My own true love to me
[Words by Ira Gershwin from Lady in the Dark, 1941]
