When My Ship Comes In Lyrics - Singles - Sobule Jill

And I've been watchin' it for years 

'Thru the crashin' waves there's a distant bell 

It won't stop ringing in my head 

All I do is stare and wait 

For her to come and take me far away 

When my ship comes in I'll be happenin' 

After all these years I'll be happy 

When my ship comes in 

You'll finally love me 

Then I can leave you when my ship comes in 

There's a bitter old man on the shore 

An albatross tied 'round his throat 

And he tells me to forget that boat 

He rambles on I just get bored 

I hear the laughter of the crew 

They know the ropes they'll see me thru 

To truth and brighter days 

When my ship comes in I won't be lonely 

I'll have lots of friends and they'll all want me 

When my ship comes in you might be sorry 

And I'll be something when my ship comes in 

When my ship comes in 

I'll be standing at the rail, 

Waving you goodbye 

You'll never be standing you'll be wondering why 

When my ship comes in I might take you 

You could swab the deck if you're nice today 

When my shop comes in we'll be somethin' 

Won't that be something when my ship comes in 

When my ship comes in I'll be happenin' 

After all these years I'll be happy 

When my ship comes in you'll finally love me 

Then I can have you when my ship comes in 

When my ship comes in
