Lyrics

My Ship Ain't Out of Water

1
sometimes my life feels like a slow-receding tide
with every breath of wind abating
but I know my home is out there on the other side
and I can only wait or give up waiting

pre
and the sun beats down and all these colours strip

ch
but my ship ain't out of water
the sun goes down the moon is on my side
this ship is gonna sit right here
waiting for the king tide

2
gonna call on all my breath to lift these useless sails
find a way out of these shallows
gonna wish me up a wind / might wish me up a gale
and this mast might be a cross / might be a gallows

pre
I might end up on the rocks and I might rip

ch
but my ship ain't out of water
the night comes down the moon is on my side
this ship is gonna sit right here
waiting for the king tide
I'm gonna sit right here
waiting for the king tide
