lyrics

The trees shake
On the skyline
Where we would wait
For the sunshine
But we never found it.
Oh where did it hide
So instead in the moonlight
We waited on the tide

Where we'd watch the ships sink
They were drowning all their cargo
and we thought what a waste
after they went through this embargo
So we we thought that we'd try
Put the ship back together
Get it floating again
We thought we'd do it for the better
But there was no fixing what was broken

The seas dulled
We were still sinking
An unbuoyant hull
What were we thinking
I tried Cape horn fever
To get off the ship
But if I were to leave her
She'd walk the plank

This couldn't be won with persistance
We should have let it go down
To the bottom of the ocean
We should have let that ship drown
But couldn't handle the notion
That this wasn't supposed to be
Don't know why or how
How we could not see

You can't go forward without a bow
Cause this ship wasn't worth a damn
This ship wasn't worth a damn
We should have left it unmanned
Cause this ship wasn't worth a damn

Do you remember the time we said maybe things will be fine
Maybe things will work out alright
We were just wasting time, we were wasting time waiting for the end
But I promise I swear I'll never do that again

So go on
Go one without me
And you'll be fine
Sailing the seas

But I should have stayed on dry land
Cause this ship wasn't worth a damn
This ship wasn't worth a damn
We should have left it unmanned
Cause this ship wasn't worth a damn
