[00:39.60]They had a last supper
[00:41.81]The day of the beaching
[00:45.08]She's a dead ship sailing
[00:47.64]skeleton crew
[00:50.88]The galley is empty
[00:53.22]The stove pots are cooling
[00:58.80]With what's left of a stew
[01:01.84]
[01:04.96]Her time is approaching
[01:07.30]The captain moves over
[01:10.70]The hangman steps in
[01:12.90]To do what he's paid for
[01:16.15]With the wind and the tide
[01:18.21]She goes proud ahead steaming
[01:23.13]And he drives her hard into the shore
[01:27.64]
[01:30.18]So far from the Clyde
[01:38.02]Together we'd ride
[01:43.66]We did ride
[01:46.24]
[02:00.18]As if to a wave
[02:02.01]From her bows to her rudder
[02:05.90]Bravely she rises
[02:07.83]To meet with the land
[02:11.73]Under their feet
[02:13.23]They all feel her keel shudder
[02:18.52]A shallow sea washes their hands
[02:22.35]
[02:45.19]Later the captain
[02:47.03]Shakes hands with the hangman
[02:50.73]And climbs slowly down
[02:52.80]To the oily wet ground
[02:56.13]Goes bowed to the car
[02:58.15]That has come here to take him
[03:03.19]Through the graveyard and back to the town
[03:09.39]
[03:10.31]So far from the Clyde
[03:17.96]Together we'd ride
[03:23.76]We did ride
[03:25.56]
[03:32.99]They pull out her cables
[03:35.30]And hack off her hatches
[03:38.92]Too poor to be wasteful
[03:41.02]With pity or time
[03:44.33]They swarm on her carcass
[03:46.65]With torches and axes
[03:51.30]Like a whale on the bloody shoreline
[03:55.21]
[03:58.51]Stripped of her pillars
[04:00.52]Her stays and her stanchions
[04:03.89]When there's only her bones
[04:06.43]On the wet, poisoned land
[04:09.90]Steel ropes will drag her
[04:12.13]With winches and engines
[04:16.80]'til there's only a stain on the sand
[04:21.13]
[04:23.81]So far from the Clyde
[04:31.59]Together we'd ride
[04:37.24]We did ride
[04:42.27]So far from the Clyde
[04:50.32]Together we'd ride
[04:55.78]We did ride
[05:06.99]
