Lyrics
Crystal ship on a sea of dreams
The sails were full it never seemed
That there could ever come a time
When you would break this heart of mine
The winds blew hard, the skies grew black
The die was cast, no turning back
Shredded sails and splintered dreams
Crystal ship on a sea of dreams
But I still believe in love, that's one thing I'm still sure of
God's in heaven up above, and I still believe in love
My ears were deaf, my eyes were blind, ride the waves into my mind
A ray of light, a calmer sea, try to find what's left of me
Bail the water, bail it fast. Mend the sails, repair the masts
Night gives way to dawn at last
The dawn is breaking, the storm has passed
And I still believe in love, that's one thing I'm still sure of
God's in heaven up above, and I still believe in love
Turn the ruder towards new lands, hold the wheel with gentle hands
Seagulls glide, the winds are mild...remember when I was a child
Rainbow baby, can you see? Will you sail this ship with me?
Have our souls met in the past? Will we make a love that lasts?
Because I still believe in love, that's one thing I'm still sure of
God's in heaven up above, and I still believe in love
