It is the ship you can see
When the grey ship calls
It is a-callin’ for me
I thought it would come from
I thought it would come from
Further North than that
Blue sky is silver
Blue sky is grey
When the grey ship calls
I am a-leavin’ today
I thought it would come
I thought it would come
[Instrumental]
When you see that ship
It is the ship you can see
All of that callin’
Is a-callin’ for me
I thought it would come
I thought it would come from
I thought it would come from
Further North than that
(I hear a choir, I hear a symphony)
My mother with soft hands
My sister with none left
My best friend from long time
My mouth full of glass
(I hear a choir)
The strangers with wet hair
My old aunt a spinster
I feel all them, calming
I've run out of air
I hear a choir
I hear a symphony
I hear all them calling
The pearly gates
We've come all gone together
We've all gone to sleep
[Guitar break]
I hear a choir
I hear a symphony
Great grandmother
Lived on the prairie
Nothin’ and nothin’
And nothin’ and nothin’
I got the same feelin’
Inside of me
When you see that ship It is the ship you can see When the grey ship calls It is a-callin’ for me I thought it would come from I thought it would come from Further North than that Blue sky is silver Blue sky is grey When the grey ship calls I am a-leavin’ today I thought it would come I thought it would come [Instrumental] When you see that ship It is the ship you can see All of that callin’ Is a-callin’ for me I thought it would come I thought it would come from I thought it would come from Further North than that (I hear a choir, I hear a symphony) My mother with soft hands My sister with none left My best friend from long time My mouth full of glass (I hear a choir) The strangers with wet hair My old aunt a spinster I feel all them, calming I've run out of air I hear a choir I hear a symphony I hear all them calling The pearly gates We've come all gone together We've all gone to sleep [Guitar break] I hear a choir I hear a symphony Great grandmother Lived on the prairie Nothin’ and nothin’ And nothin’ and nothin’ I got the same feelin’ Inside of me Explain Request ×
