When The Ship Comes In Lyrics by Hollies

When The Ship Comes In Lyrics

    (dylan)
    Oh the time will come up
    When the winds will stop
    And the breeze will cease to be a breezin
    Like the stillness in the wind
    For the hurricane begins
    The hour when the ship comes in

    Oh the seas will split
    And the ship will hit
    And the shoreline sands will be shaken
    Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
    And the morning will be breakin

    Oh the fishes will laugh
    As they swim out of the path
    And the seagulls they'll be smilin
    And the rocks on the sand
    Will proudly stand
    The hour that the ship comes in

    And the words they use
    For to get the ship confused
    Will not be understood as they are spoken
    For the chains of the sea
    Will have busted in the night
    And be buried at the bottom of the ocean

    Verse 2

    A song will lift as the main sail shifts
    And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
    And the sun will respect every face on the deck
    The hour when the ship comes in
    Then 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
