well the sail 

the sail on this ship come 

crashing down 

and the rope 

that is your love slips 

slips from my hand 

Chorus 

now hold fast your fingers

don't let her slip away

hold fast cause you need her 

to get to the calm of the bay



now the bow 

the bow on this ship is

under the sea 

but i wont let go the rope though

though the waves cover me



now hold fast your fingers 

dont let her slip away 

hold fast cause i need her 

to get the ship back to the bay
