Ship Of Fools Lyrics - Night Moves - Bob Seger

"Tell me quick" said Old McFee 

"What's this all have to do with me?" 

"I've spent all my time at sea a loner." 

"Is there something else I should know?" 

"Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?" 

We he turned away before the answer 

Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear 

It became to clear 

So it went as we put out 

I was left in constant doubt 

Everything I asked about seemed private

To ask him would it be all right to join him 

But he stood there like some idol 

And he listened like some temple 

And then he turned away

All along the fateful coast 

We moved silent like a ghost 

The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us 

The wind came building from the cold northwest 

And soon the waves began to crest 

Crashing cross the forward deck 

All hands lost 

I alone survived the sinking 

I alone possessed the tools 

On that ship of fools
