| Oceans deep
|
| Drifting as you sleep
|
| Up on the eternal sea
|
| A ship sails
|
| When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide
|
| And when your ship comes in Will it be a galley full of slaves
|
| Or a sun streaked schooner
|
| You came so far
|
| Between the rocks and shoals
|
| In the blinding night
|
| A may day
|
| When your ship comes in Will you step on board with a smile
|
| Or will they have to pressgang you
|
| Will the flag that flies in the wind
|
| Say friend or foe
|
| Will you know
|
| Or bear the mark of a pirate bold
|
| With a treasure chest full of fool’s gold
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| When your ship comes in Don’t try to pack your case with hopes and dreams
|
| It’s all behind you now
|
| This ain’t no Sunday cruise this time you
|
| don’t choose your destination
|
| And will a silent wave carry you away
|
| Or will the storm crash down so cold
|
| I spent a lot of fool’s gold
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide
|
| When your ship comes in Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with a smile
|
| When your ship comes in |
