Ship of Fools
-------------

Went to see the captain, strangest I could find,
laid my proposition down, laid it on the line.
I won't slave for beggar's pay, likewise gold and jewels,
but I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools.

Ship of
fools on a cruel sea,
ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin of the boat,
and all that could not sink or swi
m was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but woh it makes me wild,
with thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first b
elieved you,
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to ra
ise no flag atop no ship of fools.

Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.

It was later than I thought when I first believed y
ou,
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
