Ship Song Lyrics - Singles - Nova Heather

written by Nick Cave 

Come sail your ships around me 

And burn your bridges down 

We make a little history, darling 

Every time you come around 

Come loose your dogs upon me 

And let your hair hang down 

You are a little mystery to me 

Every time you come around 

We talk about it all night long 

We define our moral ground 

But when I crawl into your arms 

Everything comes tumbling down 

Your face has fallen sad now 

For you know the time is nigh 

When I must remove your wings 

And you, you must try to fly 

Come sail your ships around me 

And burn your bridges down 

We make a little history, darling 

Every time you come around 

Come loose your dogs upon me 

And let your hair hang down 

You are a little mystery to me 

Every time you come around
