When your ship comes in, my friend, you know we'll be smiling I see your ship is sailing, gently, across the sea Bring the family, bring the kid, bring the whole fact sheets And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see Snap up all your tickets, you know the ship is silent Silent as a painting of the ship The sea will split, the ship will hit the bottom of the ocean And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see With sea salt in their eyes, they pinch themselves To see if they're still dreaming When you know as well as me, anchor bridle isn't there All your hidden manners were in my hands I'm thinking over from the blueprint (oh, oh) And when you don't want no one knowing You can sit around and sell it back to him When your ship comes in, my friend, you know we'll be smiling I see your stretches, I know about the hold-ups from the west to the east He's a champion, I'll raise a glass when you lose another chest head And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you care to see Oh, I see your ship's coming and gone, the situation's over Leave all you see, six sailors to the go And then the ship might head on wind I could be with you forever (oh, oh) And from a tumult in the morning, the shoreline is all you wanna see
