A Ship in a Bottle ft. Andy Ford - Trombone Lyrics

There's a ship out o'er the ocean

I can see it through the glass

And she sails to those who need her

And her winds will ever last

On the deck is loaded comfort

And the hold is full of fun

And the memories

That uplift us

Have only just begun

In a faraway place sits a sailor

In his hand a puffy and ale

In the company of family

And blaggards and beauties

They're sharing a laugh and a tale

And it's time for apple blossom

Showing fire between his teeth

As the whiting and the mussels

Throw a party on the reef

There's a ship out o'er the ocean

I can see it through the glass

And she sails to those who need her

And her winds will ever last

On the deck is loaded comfort

And the hold is full of fun

And the memories

That uplift us

Have only just begun

Could be a breeze across the water

Or the screeching of a gull

The wind amongst the halyards

Or the echo of a hull

If you walk down by the harbour

By the sign along the pier

If there's a away that he can reach you

You will know that he is near

There's a ship out o'er the ocean

I can see it through the glass

And she sails to those who need her

And her winds will ever last

On the deck is loaded comfort

And the hold is full of fun

And the memories

That uplift us

Have only just begun
