A#                           Gm
If I could sail a galleon ship
                               D# A#
Long lonely ride across the sky
                                 Gm
Seek out mysteries while you sleep
                              D# A#
And treasures money cannot buy

                              Gm
For you know I see you everywhere
 D#                     A#
A servant girl, an empress
                              Gm
My galleon ship will fly and fall
                  D#
Fall and fly and fly and fall
       A#
Deep into your loveliness

Chorus:
        Gm             D#
And if we rise, my love
            A#
Before the daylight comes
                                   Gm
A thousand galleon ships would sail
                              D# A#
Ghostly around the morning sun

                      Gm
(As the city rises up)
                      D# A#
(As the city rises up)
                      Gm
(As the city rises up)
                      D# A#
(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

Chorus:
And if we rise, my love
Oh, my darling, precious one
We'll stand and watch the galleon ships
Circle around the morning sun
