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
 (Chorus)
 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
 Stay on your course if you will
 I'll throw you a line as waves start to rise
 And bail as your ship starts to fill
