I'd hold the world in my hand like a pearl ...

I looked up to see a ship with three masts on the horizon - 

It suddenly appeared, whilst I was looking at shells upon the sand - 

It was as though another world had touched this one for a moment - 

I thought I heard music across the water - 

One day, I knew, I'd board that ship - 

I'd feel its pale deck beneath my feet - 

I'd watch the warm land become smaller and smaller - 

I'd hold the world like a pearl in my hand -
