Battened Hatches Lyrics

Amy Speace Battened Hatches

Candlesticks and battened hatches, deck of cards and waterproof matches*
We'll sail on, through the storm, come what may
We've got all we need, no reason to be afraid
When the world's been raining, raining, raining cats and dogs
When the world's been flooded, flooded all the dry land is gone
All we've got left is each other and this boat we're on
Now give a kiss and bat those lashes. I'll check the knots and find where the flask is
Our clothes are worn, so we'll stay warm, come what may
We've got all we need, no reason to complain
When the world's been raining, raining, raining cats and dogs
When the world's been flooded, flooded all the dry land is gone
All we've got left is each other and this boat we're on
