When The Ship Comes In

By Bob Dylan

Capo 3

Oh, the

time will come

up when the

wind will

stop,

And the

breeze will

cease to be

breathin'.

Like a

stillness in the

wind before the

hurricane be

gins.

The

hour that the

ship

comes

in.

And the

seas will split and the

ship will

hit,

And the

sands on the

shoreline will be

shaking,

And the

tide will

sound and the

waves will

pound,

And the

morning

will be

break

ing.

Oh, the

fishes will

laugh as they

swim out of the

path,

And the

sea gulls,

they'll be

smiling.

And the

rocks on the

sand will

proudly

stand,

The

hour that the

ship co

mes

in.

And the

words that are

used for to

get the ship confused,

Will

not be unders

tood as they're

spoken.

For the

chains of the

sea will have

busted in the

night,

And be

buried in the

bottom of the

oce

an.

A

song will

lift as the

main sail

shifts,

And the

boat

drifts on to the

shoreline.

And the

sun will

respect every

face on the

deck,

The

hour that the

ship co

mes

in.

Then the

sands will roll out a

carpet of

gold,

For your

weary

toes to be a-

touchin'.

And the

ship's wise

men will re

mind you once

again,

That the

whole wide

world is

watch

in'

.

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 co

mes

in.

Then they'll

raise their hands sayin', "We'll

meet all your de

mands."

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

conquere

d.
