The Ship That Sails The Seven Seas
The ship that sails the seven seas
Has finally brought me to my knees
It's not much to my liking
The people standing on the rock
Are innocent and they know not
That the tide comes in
And death rises like a viking
The mountains rise above the mist
And the golden prince I've never kissed
He may die tonight
And why do I want to ride
With a prince whose alleged horse is white
Cos when we ride together
Our lives are cloaked forever
Happiness is temporary
Believe me I know
It can arrive as a shining crystal
And leave as a melting stone
Come all ye lads and lasses
The kingdom of childhood passes
Oh but I am hearty in these years
For I'd have sunk down with my tears
To the earth beneath my feet
I want to endure the slings and arrows
That Hamlet spoke about but harrowed
He was forced to a ragged defeat
There was a method to his madness
But overcome by pride and sadness
He did not endure
Surely his death was a brave mistake
How many deaths do we really calculate
Isn't that true Lord
Tragedies happen when you're born
Happiness is temporary
Believe me I know
It can arrive as a shining crystal
And leave as a melting stone
Come all ye lads and lasses
The kingdom of childhood passes
You archangels you have some nerve
To watch all this you are absurd
You even have a choice
Do you know all I think you make
And what is there for you to say
But understand why God took back your voice
Silence is golden I believe
And you are worth your weight in reeds
The purest gold
While we are here with jets and beds
And aircraft carriers and jets
I call out ruthlessly
Give me an archangel for company
Happiness is temporary
Believe me I know
It can arrive as a shining crystal
And leave as a melting stone
Come all ye lads and lasses
The kingdom of childhood passes
Me in the woods at the break of dawn
The candles of the night still on
The chimes ring from the hollow
I too am worth my weight in gold
But the fishmonger and I are old
When the mint runs out
Our real lives will follow
If it was misfortune who woke you up
To pour you the drakes from her aging cup
Cast her aside
The sunrise will appear with a mockingbird
Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard
Glorious in his song
He cannot be wrong
Happiness is temporary
Believe me I know
It can arrive as a shining crystal
And leave as a melting stone
Come all ye lads and lasses
The kingdom of childhood passes
There's another one just beyond
Halfway before it's gone
