Reb Fountain - Swim to the Star Lyrics

The ship went down in calm water
The band played on
Women and children float away
Nearer my god to thee
The crew the black gang and men who made her
Nameless gone all gone
Cry out to the world
We're going down we're going down we're going down
Dead sons lost lovers fathers and brothers gone
Belfast Southampton weeping weeping women
Over and over and over
Ships of state ships of fools
Lower the lifeboats the rich sail away
Nearer to god are they
No power no glory only hope remains
Swim to the star
Down down in dark water the show goes on
Cry out to the stars we're going down we're going down
The stars listen
The stars listen
And drift away
