Lyrics

[00:29] Oh, the time will come up
[00:31] When the winds will stop
[00:33] And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
[00:37] Like the stillness in the wind
[00:40] Before the hurricane begins
[00:42] The hour that the ship comes in
[00:46] And the seas will split
[00:48] And the ship will hit
[00:50] And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
[00:55] Then the tide will sound
[00:56] And the wind will pound
[00:59] And the morning will be breaking
[01:03] (MUSIC)
[01:10] Oh, the fishes will laugh
[01:12] As they swim out of the path
[01:14] And the seagulls they'll be smiling
[01:18] And the rocks on the sand
[01:20] Will proudly stand
[01:23] The hour that the ship comes in
[01:26] And the words that are used
[01:29] For to get the ship confused
[01:31] Will not be understood as they're spoken
[01:35] For the chains of the sea
[01:37] Will have busted in the night
[01:39] And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
[01:44] (MUSIC)
[01:50] A song will lift
[01:53] As the mainsail shifts
[01:55] And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
[01:59] And the sun will respect
[02:01] Every face on the deck
[02:03] The hour that the ship comes in
[02:07] Then the sands will roll
[02:09] Out a carpet of gold
[02:11] For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
[02:15] And the ship's wise men
[02:17] Will remind you once again
[02:19] That the whole wide world is watchin'
[02:24] (MUSIC)
[02:31] Oh, the foes will rise
[02:33] With the sleep still in their eyes
[02:35] And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
[02:39] But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
[02:41] And know that it's for real
[02:43] The hour when the ship comes in
[02:47] Then they'll raise their hands
[02:49] Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
[02:51] But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
[02:55] And like Pharaoh's tribe
[02:57] They'll be drownded in the tide
[03:00] And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
[03:05] (MUSIC)
