Ship Sets Sail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And when your ship sets sail do not worry I'll wipe the sweat away All your life you travel blind Not at peace, not resigned At least you get to leave the pain behind When your ship sets sail [Verse 2] And when your work is done do not hurry Don't pack your things away Forty years the mills grind slow Take your pay, before you know They're telling you it's time to go When your ship sets sail [Bridge] And nothing much you taught us Turned out useful in the end Maybe the world was bigger then And easier to mend [Verse 3] And when your ship sets sail do not worry I'll wipe the sweat away The street was dark, the dark was sweet The boy's still running up the street To grip the hand that grips this sheet When your ship sets sail [Bridge] And can you scrape the patience up To stand in one more line? You haven't lost your ticket, look You had it all the time [Verse 1] When your ship sets sail do not worry (The boy's still running) I'll wipe the sweat away All your life you travel blind Not at peace, not resigned (The boy's still running) At least you get to leave the pain behind When your ship sets sail When your ship sets sail When your ship sets sail (The boy's still running) When your ship sets sail [Outro] The boy's still running The boy's still running The boy's still running The boy's still running The boy's still running The boy's still running
