There’s a ship on the wall
Whose mast is slowly sinking.
Her majesty’s gallient fall Has left me alone thinking.

Why is it me who gets caught in the storm?
Having the sea rise above, till I’m gone?

There’s a man down the hall
Who wants to start all over.
Violin under his jaw
Weeps on his own shoulder.

Why is it me who gets left all alone?
Having the sea rise above, till I’m gone?

And she’s starting to blow
Across the seven seas.
You can stay down below
And toss away your dreams.
I’m not afraid,
I just don’t think that I’m that way.

There’s a ship on the wall
Whose mast is slowly sinking.
Her majesty’s gallient fall
Has left me alone thinking.

When we die from the day that we’re born
Rise above, for the dawn.

And she’s starting to blow
Across the seven seas.
You can stay down below
And toss away your dreams.
I’m not afraid,
I just don’t think that I’m that way.
