When my ship comes in
I’m gonna squeeze it in a bottle
Throw it back in the water
And send it off to sea
When my ship comes in
I’m going to break this holy bottle
And christen the ocean
To whom it may concern
I’ve waited all my life and I’m waiting still
Rooted to the spot on the steepest hill
They say that there’s a way if you have the will
Of loneliness and fear I have had my fill
When my ship comes in
I’m gonna squeeze it in a bottle
Throw it back in the water
And send it off to sea
When my ship comes in
I’m going to break this holy bottle
And christen the ocean
To whom it may concern
Angels in the air whisper in my ear
What I already know but really need to hear
The heart you break the most is probably your own
Afraid to be with them, afraid to be alone
Give up your ghosts and tumble down that hill
And if you lose your way do not lose your will
My wishes like the waves are churning dear
Their force of will someday may draw you near
When my ship comes in
I’m going to break this holy bottle
And christen the ocean
To whom it may concern
When my ship comes in
I’m gonna squeeze it in a bottle
Throw it back in the water
And send it back to sea
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
When my ship…
