The day is cold and the night is long
The direction you're going is wrong
And the ending is just the beginning
When your ship hits rock bottom
Visions blurry, can't see your feet
Starving around for something to eat
Crying no one hears you calling
When your ship hits rock bottom
The cold and rain keep coming
There's nowhere to be turning
Or to be running and returning
When your ship hits rock bottom
Never thought you'd be
On the right side of the ship
On the wrong side of history
Strangers unforgiving
When your ship hits rock bottom
You sense a ghost on the prowl
Hear the hooting of an owl
Longing to see your reflection
When your ship hits rock bottom
There'll be no more
No crying of refuge
No protection from the blues
Meeting the point of no return
When your ship hits rock bottom
Your fingers will be fragile
And your hands will be idle
And your years will be passing
When your ship hits rock bottom
rock bottom you've seen the end of the earth your eyes face a new universe
lessons of life you'll learn again when your ship hits rock bottom
