lyrics

LET'S BUILD A SHIP

Making mistakes was my sole occupation
‘Till I met you that fateful day at the station
You bumped me on to that rail
And I fell head over heals
Sooner than later I was gonna get you
Even though your better sense wouldn’t let you
But now we’re here on this lagoon…
And I know what we can do

Let’s build a ship at the bottom of the ocean
Why wait around for the storms to come
Let’s build a ship out of love out of faith and devotion
And things that are undefined
Let’s build a ship at the bottom of the ocean
I gotta hunch it’ll save us time
Hoist up the sails and forget about the notion
That love is gonna last forever
That we’ll always be together
It’s a lie…

Still I enjoy the anticipation
Of finding out new things without explanation
You put me into a spin
When you kiss your fellow friends
My darling - my dearest... Happy Valentines!
The end is in sight and everything we did together
will be forgotten like nothing ever happened
Doomed to oblivion from the very start
Let’s build a ship at the bottom of the ocean
I gotta hunch it’ll save us time
Hoist up the sails and forget about the notion
That love is gonna last forever
That we’ll always be together
It’s a lie… It’s a lie

Let’s build a ship at the bottom of the ocean
Why wait around for the storms to come
Let’s build a ship out of love out of faith and devotion
And things that are undefined
Let’s build a ship at the bottom of the ocean
I gotta hunch it’ll save us time
Hoist up the sails and forget about the notion
That love is gonna last forever
That we’ll always be together
It’s a lie…
