A Ship in a Bottle
There's a ship out o'er the ocean
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
In a faraway place sits a sailor
In his hand a puffy and ale
In the company of family
And blaggards and beauties
They're sharing a laugh and a tale
And it's time for apple blossom
Showing fire between his teeth
As the whiting and the mussels
Throw a party on the reef
There's a ship out o'er the ocean
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
Could be a breeze across the water
Or the screeching of a gull
The wind amongst the halyards
Or the echo of a hull
If you walk down by the harbour
By the sign along the pier
If there's a away that he can reach you
You will know that he is near
There's a ship out o'er the ocean
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
In a faraway place sits a sailor
In his hand a puffy and ale
In the company of family
And blaggards and beauties
They're sharing a laugh and a tale
And it's time for apple blossom
Showing fire between his teeth
As the whiting and the mussels
Throw a party on the reef
There's a ship out o'er the ocean
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
Could be a breeze across the water
Or the screeching of a gull
The wind amongst the halyards
Or the echo of a hull
If you walk down by the harbour
By the sign along the pier
If there's a away that he can reach you
You will know that he is near
There's a ship out o'er the ocean
I can see it through the glass
And she sails to those who need her
And her winds will ever last
On the deck is loaded comfort
And the hold is full of fun
And the memories
That uplift us
Have only just begun
