Ship Of Fools Lyrics - Singles - Calvert Robert

Sleek, swift, streamlined ship, 

shield-clad and shining, 

tell to me the tale of your trip 

when the limpest of men were your lining 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

You tried to take them to new trade 

but they were afraid to follow. 

Land-lubbers of the lowest grade 

their hearts and their heads were both hollow 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

But your form is far-out, framed by foam: 

a cloven-crocodile. 

Whale's-highway is your home 

Swan's-Riding is your style. 

Fine-finned, shaped like a shark 

the wind awaits your awaking. 

Designed for delving into the dark 

of mysteries in the making 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

O I know you were a ship of fools 

A ship of fools 

ship of fools 

you were a ship of fools.
