Jimmy Cliff - Ship Is Sailing lyrics

rate me

Baby it's been a long time

We've been sitting on drydock

And it seems like all the pathways

Have been blocked

Now the tides have turned

And the rewards we have earned

Bringing us good feeling

Set our hearts a-reeling, baby

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving

Our ship is sailing, and we are moving

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

'Til we say so

Hey now

Now let's rock it steady

Since a long time we've been ready

Let nothing detract our attention

Let's take our time

'Cause I'm feeling so fine

When you hold me tight

Everything's all right, darlin'

Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

Our ship is sailing, let's keep on moving

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

'Til we say so

Hey hey now

Now with love and affection

We're moving in the right direction

Satisfaction is the key along the way

So let's share the joy

Like a child with a new toy

Baby hold me tight

Everything's all right, darlin'

Our ship is sailing, and we are moving

Our ship is sailing, there ain't now stopping now

Our ship is sailing, yes we are on the go

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

Let's share the joy (Our ship is sailing)

Like a child with a new toy (Our ship is sailing)

Baby let's take our time (Our ship is sailing)

'Cause I'm feeling so fine

Babe

Yeah yeah
