Oceans deep • Drifting as you sleep • Up on the
eternal sea • A ship sails

When your ship comes in • Will you be ready to
sail with the tide • And when your ship comes in
Will it be a galley full of slaves • Or a sun streaked
schooner

You came so far • Between the rocks and shoals
In the blinding night • A may day

When your ship comes in • Will you step on board
with a smile • Or will they have to pressgang you
Will the flag that flies in the wind • Say friend or foe
Will you know • Or bear the mark of a pirate bold
With a treasure chest full of fool’s gold • Fool’s gold

When your ship comes in • Don’t try to pack your
case with hopes and dreams • It’s all behind you
now • This ain't no Sunday cruise this time you
don’t choose your destination • And will a silent
wave carry you away • Or will the storm crash down
so cold • I spent a lot of fool’s gold • Fool’s gold

Will you be ready when your ship comes in • When
your ship comes in • Will you be ready to sail with
the tide • When your ship comes in • Will you be
ready when your ship comes in • When your ship
comes in • Will you be ready to sail with a smile
When your ship comes in
