BOB SEGER - Ship Of Fools lyrics

Words and music by bob seger<br><br>Tell me quick said old mcfee<br>What's this all have to do with me? <br>I've spent all my time at sea a loner.<br><br>Is there something else I should know? <br>Something hidden down below the level of your conversation? <br>Well he turned away before the answer<br>Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear<br>It became to clear<br>So it went as we put out<br>I was left in constant doubt<br>Everything I asked about seemed private<br><br>The captain strolled the bridge one night<br>I stopped him in the evening light<br>To ask him would it be all right to join him<br><br>But he stood there like some idol<br>And he listened like some temple<br>And then he turned away<br><br>All along the fateful coast<br>We moved silent like a ghost<br>The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us<br>The wind came building from the cold northwest<br>And soon the waves began to crest<br>Crashing cross the forward deck<br>All hands lost<br><br>I alone survived the sinking<br>I alone possessed the tools<br>On that ship of fools
