The Last Ship (Finale)

Jackie:

It’s a strange kind of beauty, it’s cold and austere

And whatever it was that you’ve done to be here

It’s the sum of your hopes, your despairs and your fears

When this last ship sails

Now everything’s ship shape, the drag chains we've checked

Send this shop down the slipway and it’s all hands on deck

Gideon & Jackie:

For nothing’ll stop us, we have to prevail

Through the teeth of this tempest

In the mouth of a gale

May the angels protect us

Company:

If all else should fail

When the last ship sails

Oh the roar of the chains (roar)

And the cracking of timbers

The noise at the end of the world in your ears

As a mountain of steel (mountain)

Makes its way to the sea and

The last ship sails

Meg (spoken):

Go Tom, go to your father!

Company:

And whatever you’d promised, whatever you’ve done

And whatever the station in life you’ve become

In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son

And no matter the weave of this life that you’ve spun

On the Earth or in Heaven or under the sun

When the last ship sails

When the last ship sails!
