Ships
Down at the docks, you and me walking
Watching you watching the ships coming into the harbor
You told me again of your voyages grand
I loved you most when you spoke of the seven wonders
And you reached in your coat for your telescope
See what you could see
When your ship comes in,
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in you'll be happy
Down at the docks, you and me walking
Watching you watching the ships coming into the harbor
And it was my treat to buy you fine sweets
Kippers in tins, little things to bring you pleasure
And you parted your lips for a herring-fish
Didn't part them for me
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in you'll be happy
I won't plead and I won't beg
Shed salt tears all down your neck
When your ship comes in
I won't weep and I won't mourn
I'm gonna let my long hair down
When your ship comes in
Who's gonna hold your hand so cold?
Who's gonna gaze in your glazing eye?
Who's gonna kiss your prattling lips?
Who's gonna lay in a bed so wide?
Who's gonna lay in your lonely bed?
Who's gonna love you like me?
When your ship comes in [x12]
Watching you watching the ships coming into the harbor
You told me again of your voyages grand
I loved you most when you spoke of the seven wonders
And you reached in your coat for your telescope
See what you could see
When your ship comes in,
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in you'll be happy
Down at the docks, you and me walking
Watching you watching the ships coming into the harbor
And it was my treat to buy you fine sweets
Kippers in tins, little things to bring you pleasure
And you parted your lips for a herring-fish
Didn't part them for me
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in
When your ship comes in you'll be happy
I won't plead and I won't beg
Shed salt tears all down your neck
When your ship comes in
I won't weep and I won't mourn
I'm gonna let my long hair down
When your ship comes in
Who's gonna hold your hand so cold?
Who's gonna gaze in your glazing eye?
Who's gonna kiss your prattling lips?
Who's gonna lay in a bed so wide?
Who's gonna lay in your lonely bed?
Who's gonna love you like me?
When your ship comes in [x12]
