When My Ship Comes In (2025)

[JILL, spoken]

One, two, three

[JILL]

There's a dim light off the pier

And I've been watching it for years

Through the crashing waves there's a distant bell

Won't stop ringing in my head

All I do is stare and wait

For her to come and take me far away

[JILL & BAND]

Well, when my ship comes in I'll be happening

After all these years I'll be happening

When my ship comes in, finally love me

[JILL]

Then I can leave you when my ship comes in, yeah

There's a little lost girl on the shore

Not sure of what she's looking for

A siren takes her trembling hand

Says, "I'll take you to the promised land"

[JILL & BAND]

I hear the laughter of the crew

They know the ropes, they'll see me through

The truth and brighter days

Well, when my ship comes in I won't be lonely

After all these years I'll be happening

When my ship comes in, finally love me

[JILL]

Then I can leave you when my ship comes in

[JILL & BAND]

I'll be standing at the rail

Waving you goodbye

You'll be standing on the beach

You'll be wondering why

[JILL]

Oh yeah

[JILL & BAND]

When my ship comes in I'll be happening

After all these years I'll be happening

When my ship comes in, finally love me

[JILL]

Then I can leave you when my ship comes in

[JILL & BAND]

Ship comes in, I'll be happening

After all these years I'll be happening

When my ship comes in, finally love me

[JILL]

Then I'll never leave you when my ship comes in

[JILL, spoken]

Never gonna leave you

I'm never gonna leave you, no, no
