I Thought I Saw My Ship A-Coming


i thought i saw my ship a-coming
coming here for me
i thought i saw my ship a-coming
here to make me free

but what has been will be forlorn
i sit here until dawn
i don't wanna live for the cannons in your war

i thought i saw my ship a-coming
sailing toward this coast
i thought i saw my ship a-coming
no jolly roger hoist, no jolly roger hoist

but what has been will be forever
and nothing will ever change
and so until then i'll be the cabin boy of your song

i thought i saw my ship a-coming
on scented ocean spray
i thought i saw my ship a-coming
here to stowaway

but what has been will be forever
the albatross's dream
so forever more Abyssinia waits for me
