Dylan [00:11.26]Oh the time will come up [00:15.21]When the winds will stop [00:17.56] [00:19.18]And the breeze will cease to be breathing [00:23.31] [00:24.53]Like the stillness in the wind [00:26.20] [00:26.92]Before the hurricane begins [00:29.13] [00:31.17]The hour that the ship comes in [00:35.39] [00:36.42]And the seas will split [00:39.15]And the ship will hit [00:41.80]And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking [00:45.90] [00:47.12]And the tide will sound [00:49.90]And the wind will pound [00:52.46]And the morning will be breaking [00:59.59] [01:03.39]Oh the fishes will laugh [01:05.90]As they swim out of the path [01:08.50]And the seagulls they'll be smiling [01:12.56] [01:13.43]And the rocks on the sand [01:16.26]Will proudly stand [01:18.25] [01:18.94]The hour that the ship comes in [01:22.80] [01:23.84]And the words that are used [01:26.42]For to get the ship confused [01:28.72] [01:29.40]Will not be understood as they're spoken [01:33.14] [01:34.16]For the chains of the sea [01:36.74]Will have busted in the night [01:39.28]And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean [01:46.57] [01:49.81]A song will lift [01:52.15]As the mainsail shifts [01:54.81]And the boat drifts on to the shoreline [01:59.23] [01:59.86]And the sun will respect [02:02.37]Every face on the deck [02:05.22]The hour that the ship comes in [02:09.27] [02:10.28]And the sands will roll [02:12.71]Out a carpet of gold [02:15.34]For your weary toes to be touching [02:19.40] [02:20.45]And the ship's wise men [02:23.01]Will remind you once again [02:25.70]That the whole wide world is watching [02:33.07] [03:20.70]Oh the foes will rise [03:23.00]With the sleep still in their eyes [03:25.67]And they'll jerk from their beds [03:28.12]And think they're dreaming [03:30.69]But they'll pinch themselves and squeal [03:33.33]And know that it's for real [03:35.75] [03:36.36]The hour that the ship comes in [03:41.03] [03:41.57]Then they'll raise their hands [03:44.30]Saying we'll meet all your demands [03:47.21]But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered [03:51.91] [03:52.56]And like pharoah's tribe [03:55.39]They'll be drowned in the tide [03:57.95]Like Goliath they'll be conquered
