Lyrics A Passing Ship - Gordon Lightfoot
A
passing
ship
I
have
found
the
open
ocean
Give
me
no
lip
The
waves
roll
by
as
I
press
on
A
sunlit
sea
On
the
first
day
in
April
How
fresh
the
wind
Will
you
miss
me
when
I'm
gone?
How
many
words
How
many
songs
still
unwritten?
How
many
ships
Of
the
line
have
come
and
gone?
In
the
good
old
days
May
they
never
be
forgotten
They
had
heavy
wind
Or
they
had
no
wind
at
all
A
passing
ship
It
is
midnight
on
the
ocean
Had
a
real
long
trip
I
have
been
at
sea
all
winter
When
my
ship
came
in
I
was
givin'
up
the
ghost
I
think
I
should
be
Leavin'
those
passing
ships
alone
When
the
sea
runs
high
The
sea
runs
wild
and
I'm
unsteady
And
I
think
of
you
In
the
warmth
of
your
home
and
family
When
love
is
true
There
is
no
truer
occupation
And
may
this
gale
Blow
us
to
the
ones
we
love
Another
day
Another
ocean
Give
me
no
lip
But
stand
aside
as
I
press
on
A
sunlit
sea
On
the
last
day
in
October
How
fresh
the
wind
Will
you
miss
me
from
now
on?
I
guess
I
should
be
Leavin'
passing
ships
alone
