Ship Lyrics

Fred Eaglesmith Ship

Seems like I've been out here in stormy seas
About as long as I can stand
And it's like you send me another wave
Every time I catch my breath
And I've trimmed my sails
And set my course
Again, Lord, and again
Lord, if you could find me a place to land
My ship needs to come in
And there's dark clouds to my left, Lord
And dark clouds to my right
There's thunderin' and there's lightnin'
And I keep sending out my signals of distress
With no one there to see them
And the waves crash up over the bow
And soak me to my skin
Lord, if you could find me a place to land
My ship needs to come in
If you could clear the skies Lord, for just one minute
And I could see the stars
I could find my points and head on out
And try Lord just once more
But Lord I'm beat up and I'm broken
And my light is getting weak
Lord, if you could find me a place to land
My ship needs to come in
Yes Lord if you could find me a place to land
My ship needs to come in
My ship needs to come in
