Shipwreck
I should sing to you whenever I can
Just to soothe your heart
Even if your too young to notice
I hope one day you will understand
Why I had to part
And why I could never explain
When ordinary ships go down
No one seems to care and they will hardly make the papers
A dozen people may have drowned
Still it seems quite fair to think
That's not what might await us in the end
I used to be the hollowest man
But who had dealt the cards
That were just so prone to go down with
I tried, I tried again and again
But then it hit me hard
That folding was the only way
When ordinary ships go down
No one seems to care and they will hardly make the papers
A dozen people may have drowned
Still it seems quite fair to think
That's not what might await us in the end
I should sing to you whenever I can
Just to soothe my heart
Even though I'm too old
Just to soothe your heart
Even if your too young to notice
I hope one day you will understand
Why I had to part
And why I could never explain
When ordinary ships go down
No one seems to care and they will hardly make the papers
A dozen people may have drowned
Still it seems quite fair to think
That's not what might await us in the end
I used to be the hollowest man
But who had dealt the cards
That were just so prone to go down with
I tried, I tried again and again
But then it hit me hard
That folding was the only way
When ordinary ships go down
No one seems to care and they will hardly make the papers
A dozen people may have drowned
Still it seems quite fair to think
That's not what might await us in the end
I should sing to you whenever I can
Just to soothe my heart
Even though I'm too old
