When the Ship Comes In Lyrics

INTRO: G C G Bm D G
Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathing
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking
N.C. G C G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they are spoken
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried at the bottom of the o___cean
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G Em C G C G Em C G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the morning will be breaking
N.C. G C G
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour when the ship comes in
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touching
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watching
