Grateful Dead - Ship Of Fools Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
  • Laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
  • I wont slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels,
  • But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.
  • Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
  • It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
  • Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
  • Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin of the boat,
  • And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
  • I wont leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
  • With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.
  • Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
  • It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
  • Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
  • The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
  • Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more.
  • Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few:
  • Dont lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.
  • Ship of fools on a cruel sea, ship of fools sail away from me.
  • It was later than I thought, when I first believed you,
  • Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
  • It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
  • Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
