Down With The Ship Lyrics

Down With The Ship lyrics

Like ships in a squall we rise and we fall



We're plotting our course throught waves



Some masts are tall with sails so strong



Others are tossed in the gale



We try to stay dry with salt in our eyes



No moment to rest or complain



The moon isn't far a clear sky and stars



Red sky at morn on your tail







I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier



I'm not going to let you go down with the ship



Raise up your anchor it's time to set sail



And I'm not going to let you go down







Like ships we were made to dance o'er our graves



One false move and we could be thrown



Buried alive before our due time



To rest at sixty below



So jibe while you can if there's danger ahead



Stay on your course if you will



I'll throw you a line as waves start to rise



Bail as your ship starts to fill
