Til Your Ship Comes In
[Verse 1]
You're kidding me, right?
With that dot in your eye
You went mouthing off to strangers
'Til you picked the wrong guy
Frozen on page one
Of some memory book
Yeah, I know that look
Buried in a purple wash
A Photoshop color collage
[Chorus]
But I love you now
And I loved you then
And I'll love you 'til your ship comes in
[Verse 2]
There's no words left for you, sir
Just spit in your eye
And the spider webs go red
When the cops go by
[Chorus]
I loved you then
I loved you then
And I'll love you
'Til your ship comes in
[Bridge]
On the right track
On the right track
Gonna cut you straight
Save a little face
Gonna act your age
Everybody wants you
In a different way
We call you by a different name
Gonna cut you straight
On the right track
On the right track
I can't tune you out after all we did
But it sure can be hard to forgive when you're like
"Pray for me old flame
And my chipped up smile
I shiver like a shadow
In your big dark eyes"
[Chorus]
I love you now
I loved you then
I'll love you 'til your ship comes in
