Hollies When The Ship Comes In Lyrics

When The Ship Comes In Lyrics

Oh, the time will come up when the wind 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 shoreline sands will be shakin'

Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound

And the mornin' will be breakin'



Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path

And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'

And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand

The hour that the ship comes in



And the words they 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 be buried at the bottom of the ocean



Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit

And the shoreline sands will be shakin'

Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound

And the mornin' will be breakin'



A song will lift as the mainsail shifts

And the boat drifts onto the shoreline

And the sun will respect every face on the deck

The hour when 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'
