Worn weary vessel with creaking sides
She takes each crest and trough in stride
Her mast is heavy with rain-soaked sails
Not a plank by which she hasn't ailed
So carries she on a tumultuous sea
From stern to bow, what a fortress is she
Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship can carry her weight
Now deep in the belly- a stowaway
The sea roils around her, she feels him awake
How did he sneak unnoticed below?
Oh she'll keep his secret- the cap needn't know
So carries she on a tumultuous sea
From stern to bow, what a fortress is she
Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship will carry the ache
Back on the land, his sea legs groan
He thought it'd be best to head for home
And though she delighted to be lightened of him
How she misses the boy she'd once stowed within
So carries she on a tumultuous sea
From stern to bow, what a fortress is she
Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship
Oh she'll carry on with a seaward song
Reminiscing her journeys abroad
And if she should find
Some other in time
Stowed away in her keel
She'll keep 'im, she will
So carries she on a tumultuous sea
From stern to bow, what a fortress is she
Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship will carry the ache
Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship will carry her weight
