Lyrics When the Ship Comes In - Arlo Guthrie
By
Bob
Dylan
Oh
the
time
will
come
up
When
the
winds
will
stop
And
the
breeze
will
cease
to
be
a'breathin'
Like
the
stillness
in
the
wind
Before
the
hurricane
begins
The
hour
when
the
ship
comes
in
And
the
sea
will
split
And
the
ship
will
hit
And
the
shoreline
sands
will
be
a'shakin'
And
the
tide
will
sound
And
the
waves
will
pound
And
the
morning
will
be
breakin'
Oh
the
fishes
will
laugh
As
they
swim
out
of
the
path
And
the
seagulls
will
be
a'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
at
the
bottom
of
the
ocean
A
song
will
lift,
As
the
mainsail
shifts
And
the
boat
drifts
out
to
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
foe
will
rise
With
the
sleep
still
in
their
eyes
And
they'll
jerk
from
their
beds
and
think
they're
dreamin'
And
they'll
pinch
themselves
and
squeal
And
they'll
know
that
it's
for
real
The
hour
when
the
ship
comes
in
And
they'll
raise
their
hands
Sayin'
"We'll
meet
all
your
demands"
And
we'll
shout
from
the
bow
"Your
days
are
numbered"
And
like
the
pharoah's
triumph
They'll
be
drownded
in
the
tide
Like
Goliath
they'll
be
conquered
