《i saw three ships》的歌詞如下：
I saw three ships a-sailing,
On the river's golden stream,
And I sent a message,
To the distant blue sky,
To the birds and clouds above,
Bring back my lover to me.
Verse 2:
And they sailed away in the sunset,
As the stars came out in the night,
And my heart was broken,
As they sailed into the distance,
But I knew that they would return,
With my lover in their sight.
Chorus:
And I'll keep on singing this song,
Until they come back home,
Till my dreams come true,
Till my heart is filled with joy,
Till the end of time.
I watched them till they vanished,
In the misty river's shade,
And I waited patiently,
For the day they would return,
With my lover by my side,
Through all the trials and strife.
Outro:
And now I'm standing here,
In the dawn's first light,
And I know that they have returned,
With my lover safe in sight,
And I sing this song of hope,
For all who wait and hope.
