well the sail 
the sail on this ship come 
crashing down 
and the rope 
that is your love slips 
slips from my hand 
Chorus 
now hold fast your fingers
don't let her slip away
hold fast cause you need her 
to get to the calm of the bay

now the bow 
the bow on this ship is
under the sea 
but i wont let go the rope though
though the waves cover me

now hold fast your fingers 
dont let her slip away 
hold fast cause i need her 
to get the ship back to the bay
