London Calling - When My Ship Comes Home Lyrics

1923 West End, London
London Calling! the Musical - When My Ship Comes Home Lyrics


Music and Lyrics by Noël Coward.

Sometimes when I'm weary
And the world seems grey
And the firelight flickers blue,
Somewhere in the future,
Maybe far away,
There are dreams that may come true.
Cinderella's story is so lovely, to pretend,
Some day soon my story too
May have a happy end.

(Refrain 1:)
When my ship comes home,
When my ship comes home,
Silks and velvets and cloth of gold,
Caskets bursting with wealth untold,
When my ship comes home.
Through the world I'll roam,
Open skies above me,
Someone dear to love me,
When my ship comes home.

Life is nothing but a game of make-believe
Until true love comes your way,
Such a dreary pattern
Through the years you weave.
If you can't afford to pay
Fate is sometimes cruel,
And a new dawn soon may break,
Every single jewel
I'll be wearing for your sake.

(Refrain 2:)
When my ship comes home,
When my ship comes home,
No more waiting through empty years,
Pearls and diamonds in place of tears,
When my ship comes home.
Through the world I'll roam,
Open skies above me,
Someone dear to love me,
When my ship comes home.
