When Your Ship Comes In

I know that look, I've seen that face
I can tell you're in that place again
Where all that you've been longing for
Is drifting off, you feel you just can't win

But if you can hear me I hope you can see
This isn't how it will be

When your ship comes in
And the fog has finally lifted
You'll be ready
When your ship comes in

It seems to me the hands of fate
Without a rhyme or reason shape our lives
So all that you can do is make
The best of every day as it arrives

And until you find what you've been longing for
Just keep an eye on the shore

[chorus]
