Name: I saw three ships
Duration: P00H02M45S
Description: This song is an extension of the classic song, I Saw Three Ships. I started to imagine three ships coming to shore. Perhaps I lived in a house by the sea. Maybe I had been waiting for a long time for something to arrive. I could feel the longing that accompanies that sort of waiting. If I were to run out to greet those ships, what would be waiting for me?

lyrics

I saw three ships come sailing in, come sailing in, come sailing in
I saw three ships come sailing in, on Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was on those ships all three,
on Christmas Day on Christmas Day?
What was on those ships all three,
on Christmas Day in the morning?

With a heavy heart I ran to shore to greet the sea, and look on board
With a heavy heart I ran to shore…

And the bells were ringing, and the stars were singing,
There was everything I needed, I had everything I needed.
