Lyrics
0:12A passing ship
0:15I have found the open ocean
0:20Give me no lip
0:23The waves roll by as I pass on
0:28A snulit sea
0:31On the first day in April
0:36How fresh the wind
0:39Will you miss me when I'm gone
0:48How many words
0:50How many songs still unwritten
0:56How many ships
0:59Of the line have come and gone
1:04In the good old days
1:07May they never be forgotten
1:12They had heavy wind
1:15Or they had no wind at all
1:30A passing ship
1:33It is midnight on the ocean
1:38Had a real long trip
1:41I have been at sea all winter
1:46When my ship came in
1:49I was giving up the ghost
1:55I think I should be
1:57Leaving those passing ships alone
2:06When the sea runs high
2:09The sea runs wild and I'm unsteady
2:14And I think of you
2:17In the warmth of your home and family
2:22When love is true
2:25There is no truer occupation
2:31And may this gale
2:34Blow us to the ones we love
2:59Another day
3:00Another ocean
3:05Give me no lip
3:08But stand aside as I pass on
3:13A sunlit sea
3:16On the last day in October
3:21How fresh the wind
3:24Will you miss me from now on
3:33I guess I should be
3:36Leaving passing ships alone
A passing ship I have found the open ocean Give me no lip The waves roll by as I pass on A snulit sea On the first day in April How fresh the wind Will you miss me when I'm gone How many words How many songs still unwritten How many ships Of the line have come and gone In the good old days May they never be forgotten They had heavy wind Or they had no wind at all A passing ship It is midnight on the ocean Had a real long trip I have been at sea all winter When my ship came in I was giving up the ghost I think I should be Leaving those passing ships alone When the sea runs high The sea runs wild and I'm unsteady And I think of you In the warmth of your home and family When love is true There is no truer occupation And may this gale Blow us to the ones we love Another day Another ocean Give me no lip But stand aside as I pass on A sunlit sea On the last day in October How fresh the wind Will you miss me from now on I guess I should be Leaving passing ships alone
