When the Ship Comes In The Pogues

[Verse 1]
Oh, the time will come up when the waves will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in

[Chorus 1]
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound and the waves will pound
The morning will be breaking

[Verse 2]
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
The seagulls, they'll be smiling
The rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in

[Chorus 2]
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 will be buried at the bottom of the ocean

[Verse 3]
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
The boat, it drifts on to the shoreline
The sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
