When My Ship Comes In

Winter wind and evening showers
The turning hand of passing hours
Time's slow river rolling onward
Carries us away
A lonely victim of circumstance
In a world of our own making, a world of chance
One more step in the cosmic dance
Well, what can you say
One of these days I'm gonna come to my senses
And stop wasting time
I'll be tearing down walls and bending fences
Happy with the things that can be mine

When my ship comes in riding on the water
I'll be outward bound o'er the earth's cold water
I'll begin again on a tide of change
I'll be coming 'round

In the sweet decay of the afternoon
In the comfortable strains of a favourite tune
Rolling along, the familiar sound
My heart's at peace as the world spins 'round

When my ship comes in riding on the water
I'll be outward bound o'er the earth's cold water
I'll begin again on a tide of change
I'll be coming 'round

When my ship comes in riding on the water
I'll be outward bound o'er the earth's cold water
I'll begin again on a tide of change
I'll be coming 'round
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
