Someday My Ship Will Sail
Emmylou Harris · Angel Band [Warner Bros] [1987]
Life is just a passing moment
On an neverending trail
Though my pathway wanders for a heart
Someday my ship will sail.
But I will walk this road awhile
And I will walk it with a smile
I will take it in my stride
Someday I'll be satisfied.
There's eternity before me
Just beyond the dark'ning veil
O my spirit hollers to go on
Someday my ship will sail.
But I will walk this road awhile
And I will walk it with a smile
I will take it in my stride
Someday I'll be satisfied.
Someday I'll be satisfied...
