Ship Lyrics by Fred Eaglesmith

Dusty

2004

Seems like I've been out here in stormy seas
'bout 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

[organ]

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

[organ]

My ship needs to come in
