Sobule Jill - When My Ship Comes In lyrics

rate me

And I've been watchin' it for years

'Thru the crashin' waves there's a distant bell

It won't stop ringing in my head

All I do is stare and wait

For her to come and take me far away

When my ship comes in I'll be happenin'

After all these years I'll be happy

When my ship comes in

You'll finally love me

Then I can leave you when my ship comes in

There's a bitter old man on the shore

An albatross tied 'round his throat

And he tells me to forget that boat

He rambles on I just get bored

I hear the laughter of the crew

They know the ropes they'll see me thru

To truth and brighter days

When my ship comes in I won't be lonely

I'll have lots of friends and they'll all want me

When my ship comes in you might be sorry

And I'll be something when my ship comes in

When my ship comes in

I'll be standing at the rail,

Waving you goodbye

You'll never be standing you'll be wondering why

When my ship comes in I might take you

You could swab the deck if you're nice today

When my shop comes in we'll be somethin'

Won't that be something when my ship comes in

When my ship comes in I'll be happenin'

After all these years I'll be happy

When my ship comes in you'll finally love me

Then I can have you when my ship comes in

When my ship comes in<br />

<br />
