When My Ship Comes In

Power’s out in wonderland
Oh the wandering eye of the guitar man
Saved myself if I only knew
All the lies he’s accustomed to
Should have tried harder just to make a clean break now I’m lying here broke learning my mistakes

Engine’s on the road call up the tow truck
Oh you know this damn car never brought me much luck
Now I’m bleeding from my eyes just trying to be seen
And I’m singing for my supper in a bar called dreams

Oh won't you be with me when my ship comes in
I’ll buy you a ring, you can have anything
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in

I told you once I told you twice or more
You can leave if you want with that travelling hoare
I’ll wave you off, Ill see you at the pier
They say, hell is nice, this time of year

But I’m sticking right here till I beat this town and I won't look back
I won't lie down

Oh won't you be with me till my ship comes in
I'll buy you a ring, you can have anything
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
