Good Ship Songtext
von Julia Fordham

There′s a black knot under my skin
Another rot set in
Seeping out from these pores
Peeling the paper off the walls

Don't let this good ship go down
Hold on with two hands or we both might drown
Don′t let this good ship go down

Clinging to my soul like cellophane
Trickling like cold lead pain through these veins
Tugging at my heart with rusty strings
Running up for take off with broken wings

There's a dark cloud over my head
Here comes the watershed
Pelting down on my day
Washing my life as I know it away


Don't let this good ship go down
Hold on with two hands or we both might drown
Don′t let this good ship go down

Chipping at my core with blunt cold knives
Playing on my mind all through the night
Shaking up my faith and my belief
Wearing down the bonds we swore to keep

We set six out of seven
Stormy seas
Oh how the north wind blows
Feel the pull of the undertow

Don′t let this good ship go down
Hold on with two hands or we both might drown
Don't let this good ship go down

Clinging to my soul like cellophane
Trickling like cold lead pain through these veins
Tugging at my heart with rusty strings
Running up for take off with broken wings
