Peter, Paul & Mary - When The Ship Comes In Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
  • And the breeze will cease to be breathin
  • Like the stillness in the wind fore the hurricane begins
  • The hour that the ship comes in.
  • Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
  • And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin
  • And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
  • And the mornin will be breakin!
  • Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
  • And the seagulls, theyll be smilin
  • And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
  • The hour that the ship comes in.
  • And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
  • Will not be understood as theyre spoken
  • For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
  • And be buried on the bottom of the ocean.
  • Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
  • And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
  • And the sun will respect every face on the deck
  • The hour that the ship comes in.
  • And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
  • For your weary toes to be a touchin
  • And the ships wise men will remind you once again
  • That the whole wide world is watchin!
  • Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
  • And theyll jerk from their beds and think theyre dreamin
  • But theyll pinch themselves and squeal
  • And theyll know that its for real
  • The hour that the ship comes in.
  • And theyll raise their hands sayin
  • Well meet all your demands
  • But well shout from the bow your days are numbered!
  • And like pharaohs tribe theyll be drownded in the tide
  • And like goliath theyll be conquered!
