When The Ship Comes In (LP Version)歌词

作词 : Bob Dylan
作曲 : Bob Dylan
Oh the time will come up
When the wind will stop
And the breeze will cease
To be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
'Fore the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sand on the shoreline
Will be shakin'
And the tide will sound
And the waves will pound
And the mornin' will be breakin'

Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used for
To get the ship confused
Will not be understood
As they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And be buried
On the bottom of the ocean

Oh a song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts
Onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sands will roll out
A carpet of gold
For your weary toes
To be a touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'

Oh the foes will rise with the sleep
Still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds
And think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in
And they'll raise their hands sayin'
"We'll meet all your demands"[1]
But we'll shout from the bow
Your days are numbered"
And like Pharaoh's tribe
They'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath they'll be conquered
