lyrics

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 grown
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 can carry the ache

Through storms unrelenting, waves crash and break
But this mighty ship can carry her weight
