When you see that ship it
Is the ship you can see
When the grey ship calls
It is a callin for me
I thought it would come
I thought it would come from
Further North than that
Blue sky is silver blue sky is grey
When the grey ship calls I am leaving today
I thought it would come
When you see that ship it
Is the ship you can see
When the grey ship calls
It is a callin for me
I thought it would come
I thought it would come from
Further North than that
(I hear a choir, I hear a symphony)
My mother with soft hands
My sister with none left
My best friend from long time
My mouth full of glass
The strangers with wet hair
My old aunt a spinster
I feel all them calming
I've run out of air
I hear all them calling
The pearly gates
We've come all gone together
We've all gone to sleep
I hear a choir, I hear a symphony
Great grandmother lived on the prairie
Nothin and nothin and nothin and nothin
I got the same feelin inside of me
