One, two, three, four
It's safe to say that there's trouble ahead.
Well, it's good to know that it's coming
It doesn't take much searchin', friend, to know that there's nothing
But a life of feeling like you're all alone in a mansion with wolves at the door
And no blue birds flying
And I can pray for you
Like you're all out of God
And I can keep on thinking things that are rosy enough
To go on forever with a smile and a thought
That if you're gonna go
We can just get on and ride off
For I know now that the train doesn't always stop for you when you want it to
And you can keep on singing
"My ship's comin' in"
Little darlin' 'til you're blue
And just like trains don't always stop
Your boat may never drop
And forever on the ocean you will ride
Never to dream of me
Don't ever dream of me
Maybe on some winter's day
I'll let you know I love you more than words can say
Then happily I'll go to the grave
With nothing that a little prayer to the Lord can't save
For I've been doing wrong
For so long
Goodbye, farewell
This is your song
I'm sorry this wasn't better hummed
But I've thrown away all of my good ones
Yes, I've thrown away all of my good ones
And you can keep on singing
"My ship's comin' in"
Little darlin' 'till you're blue
And just like trains don't always stop
Your boat may never drop
And forever on the ocean you will ride
Never to dream of me
Don't ever dream of me
