Nick Battle - This Old Ship Lyrics

This old ship is a leaky craft damaged fore and damaged aft
The wind blows hard and the sails are torn
This old ship goes on alone

This old ship has seen better days fairer winds and plainer ways
Winter storms breach the harbour wall
This old ship stands strong and tall

Keeper of the secrets locked inside the hold
The heart of every fisherman brave and dark and bold

This old ship will one day wreck with the captain on her deck
And they'll come running fast across the sand
When her cargo comes to land

This old ship is in pirates hands lying broke on Sennen Sands
From Falmouth Bay to the Azores
This old ship will leak no more
