Oceans deep Drifting as you sleep Up on the eternal sea A ship sails When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide And when your ship comes in Will it be a galley full of slaves Or a sun streaked schooner You came so far Between the rocks and shoals In the blinding night A may day When your ship comes in Will you step on board with a smile Or will they have to pressgang you Will the flag that flies in the wind Say friend or foe Will you know Or bear the mark of a pirate bold With a treasure chest full of fool's gold Fool's gold When your ship comes in Don't try to pack your case with hopes and dreams It's all behind you now This ain't no Sunday cruise this time you don't choose your destination And will a silent wave carry you away Or will the storm crash down so cold I spent a lot of fool's gold Fool's gold Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with the tide When your ship comes in Will you be ready when your ship comes in When your ship comes in Will you be ready to sail with a smile When your ship comes in
