Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: The Ship Song
 Lyrics for Album: The Good Son [1990]
 
 
 
 24622>Come sail your ships around me
 
 And burn your bridges down.
 
 We make a little history baby
 
 Every time you come around.
 
 Come loose your dogs upon me
 
 And let your hair hang down.
 
 You are a little mystery to me
 
 Every time you come around.
 
 
 
 We talk about it all night long
 
 We define our moral ground.
 
 But when I crawl into your arms
 
 Everything comes tumbling down.
 
 
 
 Come sail your ships around me
 
 And burn your bridges down.
 
 We make a little history baby
 
 Every time you come around.
 
 
 
 Your face has fallen sad now
 
 For you know the time is nigh
 
 When I must remove your wings
 
 And you, you must try to fly.
 
 
 
 Come sail your ships around me
 
 And burn your bridges down.
 
 We make a little history baby
 
 Every time you come around.
 
 Come loose your dogs upon me
 
 And let your hair hang down.
 
 You are a little mystery to me
 
 Every time you come around.
