When Her Ship Comes Sailing in Songtext
von David Sinclair Four

16 weeks, she felt the kick inside
Her boyfriend′s chilled, the family's thrilled
She′s gonna be a mother and bride
The daylight dawns on an emotional high
But something's wrong, it doesn't take long
The future inside her just died

24 hours lying on a hospital bed
The morphine′s nice, but her heart′s full of ice
Looking back on the life that she's led
She used to run wild, the non-negotiable child
But the world closed in, a reckoning
Her number′s been dialled

The tide is high, the sky is clear
And all the pain will disappear
When her ship comes sailing in
Singing when her ship comes sailing in


13 years and how the kids have grown
Both at school, pretty soon
They'll be writing a song of their own
There′s a time to fight, and a time to forgive
A time to forget your sins and regrets
And there's a time to live

The tide is high, the sky is clear
All the pain will disappear
When her ship comes sailing in
The tide is high, the sky is clear
And all the pain will disappear
When her ship comes sailing in
She′ll be singing when her ship comes sailing in

Singing when her ship comes sailing in
Singing when her ship comes sailing in
She'll be singing when her ship comes sailing in
And she'll be singing when her ship comes sailing in
Sailing in, singing when her ship comes sailing in
Sailing in, singing when her ship comes sailing in
She′ll be singing, singing when her ship comes sailing in
