Glenn Tilbrook - LITTLE SHIPS lyrics

rate me

Little ships sailing away, your sextant set for the sun

I’ve tried my best to show you how life can be cruel and fun

You will soon un-tether yourselves and then quietly slip from my grasp

I have loved you from your first breath and always will till my last

Little ships sailing away, into new unchartered waters

You may meet with little Bo Peep or Captain Birds Eyes daughter

Anything can happen to you I will always hear what you say

Now it’s up to you to decide between what’s bad and what’s OK

Scupper, boson, any port in a storm

And the home fires still burning and warm

And your rations are caviar or quorn

Whoever you’re attracted to it’s your choice and it’s OK

On a solo life adventure

Little ships sailing away to a hopeful happy ending

I know from time to time it’s our money you’ll be spending

But I never counted the cost

Though I’m happy I’m slightly lost

It’s another bridge I’ll cross

Saying goodbye my little ships, goodbye my little ships<br />

<br />
