Down With the Ship

Like ships in a squall, we rise and we fall

We're plotting our course through the waves

Some masts are tall with sails so strong

Others are tossed in the gale

We try to stay dry with salt in our eyes

No moment to rest or complain

The moon isn't far, a clear sky and stars

Red sky at morn on your tail

I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier

I'm not going to let you go down with the ship

Raise up your anchor, it's time to set sail

And I'm not going to let you go down

Like ships, we were made to dance o'er our graves

One false move and we could be thrown

Buried alive before our due time

To rest at sixty below

So jibe while you can if there's danger ahead

Oh, stay on your course if you will

I'll throw you a line if waves start to rise

And bail as your ship starts to fill

I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier

I'm not going to let you go down with the ship

Raise up your anchor, it's time to set sail

And I'm not going to let you go down

Oh, I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier

I'm not going to let you go down with the ship

Raise up your anchor, it's time to set sail

And I'm not going to let you go

Not going to let you go down

Not going to let you go

I'm not going to let you go

Not going to let you go down
