| | | Artist: | Bob Dylan |
| | Album: | The Times They Are A-Changin | | Track: | When the Ship Comes In | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 178 | | | | Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze
will cease to be breathin'.
Like the stillness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane
begins,
The hour when the ship comes in.
Oh the seas will split
And the ship
will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
Then the tide will sound
And
the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking.
Oh the fishes will
laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
And the rocks
on the sand
Will proudly stand,
The hour that the ship comes in.
And the words
that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're
spoken.
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at
the bottom of the ocean.
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat
drifts on to the shoreline.
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck,
The hour
that the ship comes in.
Then the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your
weary toes to be a-touchin'.
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That
the whole wide world is watchin'.
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in
their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
But they'll pinch
themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real,
The hour when the ship comes
in.
Then they'll raise their hands,
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
But
we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
And like Pharaoh's tribe,
They'll be
drownded in the tide,
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
