Before the Ship Came In Songtext
von Alabama 3

On the seventh day, the horses came
Neon dust on the horizon
Stirring up hope
In this city of ghosts
A message from the silence
Grown men cried like children
While some children, they grew suspicious
Asked the women why Mother Earth would say goodbye
To the last of her pantomime villains

My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in


I could have made you happy
If you just could have let me go
This road I′m traveling on
Ain't no road that′ll take you home
You never should have listened
When I whispered in your ear
Everything gonna be alright
When we get out of here

My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in

My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on the beaches

Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
