"The Crystal Ship" is a song by The Doors from their 1967 debut album The Doors. It was also the B-Side of the #1 hit single, "Light My Fire." It is regarded as a goodbye love song to Jim Morrison's first love, Mary Werbelo. Like much of The Doors' work, it sets up an eerie, dark flow.
John Densmore "co-writer" states: "Jim wrote The Crystal Ship for Mary Werbelo in 1964, a girlfriend with whom he was breaking up, it was in his famous notebook of poetry he had when we formed. (sic),. . . . The song was a goodbye love song."
The song was covered by Duran Duran for their 1995 covers album Thank you
