The Crystal Ship Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
[Verse 2]
The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly
[Verse 4]
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
[Verse 2]
The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly
[Verse 4]
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
The Crystal Ship was composed as a love song to Jim Morrison’s first serious girlfriend, Mary Werbelow, shortly after their relationship ended.
Its lyrics in the opening verse resembles a conventional love song, while the later verses are vague in intention and contain more challenging imagery.
The song’s title has been suggested that borrows from the 12th-century Irish Lebor na hUidre (Book of the Dun Cow) manuscript.
