Lyrics of When the Ship Comes In by Peter, Paul and Mary
intro
Oh, the time will come up when the wind will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
chorus
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
And the tide will sound, and the waves will pound
And the mornin' will be breakin'
verse
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
chorus
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean
verse
Oh, a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
chorus
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
verse
All the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds, and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in
chorus
And they'll raise their hands sayin', "We'll meet all your demands"
But we'll shout from the bow, "Your days are numbered"
And like Pharaoh's tribe, they'll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
Writer(s): Bob Dylan
