When The Ship Comes In

[00:08.43] Oh, the time will come when the winds will stop
[00:12.50] And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
[00:16.58] Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins
[00:21.05] The hour when the ship comes in
[00:24.92] Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
[00:29.20] And the sands on the shoreline will be shakin'
[00:33.45] And the tide will sound and the winds will pound
[00:37.41] And the morning will be a-breakin'
[00:45.67] Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
[00:49.51] And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
[00:53.56] And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
[00:57.98] The hour that the ship comes in
[01:01.69] And the words that are used
[01:03.47] For to get the ship confused
[01:05.50] Will not be understood as they are spoken
[01:09.44] For the chains of the sea
[01:11.51] Will have busted in the night
[01:13.41] And be buried at the bottom of the ocean
[01:21.39] A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
[01:25.20] And the boat drifts out onto the shoreline
[01:29.15] And the sun will respect every face on the deck
[01:33.05] The hour that the ship comes in
[01:37.05] And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
[01:40.95] For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
[01:44.88] And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
[01:48.72] That the whole wide world is watchin'
[01:55.35]
[02:13.22] Oh, the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
[02:17.33] And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
[02:21.08] But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[02:23.03] And they'll know that it's for real
[02:25.10] The hour when the ship comes in
[02:28.82] And they'll raise their hands
[02:30.93] Sayin', "We'll meet all your demands"
[02:32.88] But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered"
[02:36.68] And like pharaoh's triumph they'll be drownded in the tide
[02:40.75] Like Goliath they'll be conquered
[02:46.49]
