They Had A Last Supper The Day Of The Beaching <br /> She's A Dead Ship Sailing Skeleton Crew <br /> The Galley Is Empty The Stove Pots Are Cooling <br /> Whats Left Of The Stew <br /> The Time Is Approaching The Captain Moves Over <br /> The Hang Man Steps In To Do What Hes Paid For <br /> With The Wind Down The Tide She Goes Proud A Head Steaming <br /> He Drives Her Hard Into The Shore <br /> <br /> So Far From The Clyde <br /> Together We Ride,We Did Ride <br /> <br /> A Drift To A Wave From Her Bows To Her Rudder <br /> Bravely She Rises To Meet With The Land <br /> Under Their Feet You Can Feel The Kings Shudder <br /> The Shallow Sea Washes Their Hands <br /> Later The Captain Shakes Hands With The Hangman <br /> Climbs Slowly Down To The Oily Wet Ground <br /> Goes Back To The Car That Has Come here To Take Him <br /> Through The Graveyard Back To The Town <br /> <br /> So Far From The Clyde <br /> Together We Ride,We Did Ride <br /> <br /> They Pull Out Her Cables And Hack Off Her Hatches <br /> Too Poor To Be Wasteful With Pity Or Time <br /> They Sworn On Her Carcass With Torches And Axes <br /> Like A Whale On A bloody Shore Line <br /> Stripped Of Her Pillers Her Stays And Her Stanchions <br /> When Their Only Her Bones On The Wet Poison Land <br /> Steal Rods Will Drag Her With Winces And Engines <br /> <br /> So Far From The Clyde <br /> Together We Ride,We Did Ride <br /> So Far From The Clyde <br /> Together We Ride,We Did Ride<br /><br />
