Ships Lyrics

Look at him now, another used man

Wearing the passing of his dignity with all the courage that he can

He stood in the storm, carved out in stone

He said I've worn my honesty with pride in everything I've done

So where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me down

Where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me down

Look at her now, all tired and worn

She never thought her life would come to be so cold or so alone

She walked in the light, fought bondage for love

She said I cast off the chains that I was born with but it never was enough

And where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me downBig Country - Ships - http://motolyrics.com/big-country/ships-lyrics.html

Where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me down

Silent souls washed up on the shore

Left to walk the sands evermore, evermore

Look at you now just chasing your life

Make like the saviour of the planet

You're just trying to get by

Now you may walk the line, you may see it all through

But I know you cry yourself to sleep at night just wondering what to do

So where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me down

Where were you when my ship went down

Where were you when I ran aground

Where were you when I turned it around

Where were you when they burned me down
