When Your Ship Comes In

When your ship comes in, my friend, you know we'll be smiling
I see your ship is sailing, gently, across the sea
Bring the family, bring the kid, bring the whole fact sheets
And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see

Snap up all your tickets, you know the ship is silent
Silent as a painting of the ship
The sea will split, the ship will hit the bottom of the ocean
And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see

With sea salt in their eyes, they pinch themselves
To see if they're still dreaming
When you know as well as me, anchor bridle isn't there
All your hidden manners were in my hands
I'm thinking over from the blueprint (oh, oh)
And when you don't want no one knowing
You can sit around and sell it back to him

When your ship comes in, my friend, you know we'll be smiling
I see your stretches, I know about the hold-ups from the west to the east
He's a champion, I'll raise a glass when you lose another chest head
And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you care to see

Oh, I see your ship's coming and gone, the situation's over
Leave all you see, six sailors to the go
And then the ship might head on wind
I could be with you forever (oh, oh)
And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see
