Lyrics

[00:11.10] Oh, the time will come up
[00:14.71] When the winds will stop
[00:17.88] And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
[00:24.14] Like the stillness in the wind
[00:26.48] Before the hurricane begins
[00:30.63] The hour that the ship comes in
[00:36.16] And the seas will split
[00:38.52] And the ship will hit
[00:41.45] And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
[00:46.89] Then the tide will sound
[00:49.42] And the wind will pound
[00:52.20] And the morning will be breaking
[01:03.34] Oh, the fishes will laugh
[01:05.76] As they swim out of the path
[01:07.97] And the seagulls they'll be smiling
[01:13.35] And the rocks on the sand
[01:16.15] Will proudly stand
[01:18.33] The hour that the ship comes in
[01:23.60] And the words that are used
[01:26.10] For to get the ship confused
[01:28.78] Will not be understood as they're spoken
[01:33.80] For the chains of the sea
[01:36.32] Will have busted in the night
[01:38.94] And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
[01:49.50] A song will lift
[01:51.68] As the mainsail shifts
[01:53.91] And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
[01:59.83] And the sun will respect
[02:01.84] Every face on the deck
[02:04.34] The hour that the ship comes in
[02:09.91] Then the sands will roll
[02:11.94] Out a carpet of gold
[02:15.00] For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
[02:20.14] And the ship's wise men
[02:22.69] Will remind you once again
[02:25.27] That the whole wide world is watchin'
[02:37.05]
[03:20.28] Oh, the foes will rise
[03:22.74] With the sleep still in their eyes
[03:25.24] And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
[03:30.45] But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[03:33.03] And know that it's for real
[03:35.66] The hour when the ship comes in
[03:41.14] Then they'll raise their hands
[03:43.75] Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
[03:46.90] But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
[03:52.17] And like Pharaoh's tribe
[03:54.98] They'll be drownded in the tide
[03:57.55] And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
[04:19.30]
