Lyrics Ships That Don't Come In

I could tell he'd had a tough life by the way he sat and stared

And me I'd come to push and shove so I pulled up a chair

We talked of roads untraveled

We talked of love untrue

Of strings that come unraveled

We were kings and kindred fools

And just when I'd hit bottom that old man raised his glass

And said

At least we've had our chances

There's those who never have

So here's to all the soldiers who have ever died in vain

The insane locked up in themselves

The homeless down on Main

To those who stand on empty shores and spit against the wind

And those who wait forever for ships that don't come in

He said

It's only life's illusions that bring us to this bar

To pick up these old crutches and compare each other's scars

'Cos the things we're calling heartaches hell they're hardly worth our time

We bitch about a dollar when there's those without a dime

And as he ordered one last round he said

I guess we can't complain

God made life a gamble and we're still in the game

So here's to all the soldiers who have ever died in vain

The insane locked up in themselves

The homeless down on Main

To those who stand on empty shores and spit against the wind

And those who wait forever for ships that don't come in
