Ships Go Out Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Ships go out I see them every day 

Ships go out I watch them sail away 

And on the decks I see my smiling friends 

Ships go out but they never do come in 

Ships go out I watch them disappear 

Ships go out and leave me standing here 

And I don't know if that's where life begins 

Ships go out but they never do come in 

When life is cheap it never seems to last 

When life is sweet it seems to go too fast 

So on the dock I tell the idle wind 

Ships go out but they never do come in 

Ships go out onto the seas so high 

Ships go out beneath an endless sky 

And on the shore is where their stories end 

Ships go out but they never do come in
