The Ship On His Arm Songtext / Lyric

"Where are you now"

She writes, "Where are you now, my love?

Do you have food to eat, shoes for your tired feet

Am I the one you're dreaming of?"



"Do you know how I miss you

How I long to kiss you

Pray for the day you will come

Back to me, my darling one"



He thinks about her

All through the long watches of night

The bullets are flying, young men are dying

He prays for the first crack of light



And when he can finally slip into his dream

She'll sweep on the sweet web she has woven

And for a while they are one






When she kisses the ship on his arm

All of his sorrows unravel

He knows he will come to another one

Over all of the miles he has traveled



Her love is an anchor

Her love is forever

It's true now her love is the charm

When she kisses the ship on his arm



Blessed are they, these fearless young lovers

Their lives are just barely begun

Blessed is the day they return to each other

After all of the battles are done

And finally they are one



When she kisses the ship on his arm

And all of their sorrows unravel

They've come through the eye of the storm

Unafraid of the miles left to travel



Their love is an anchor

Love is forever

It's true now that love is the truth

When she kisses the ship on his arm
