Down With the Ship by Naomi King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With the sails down my guard followed
And I pulled you up from the hollow grips
Of the wild and untamed sea, and you smiled
At that moment you looked at me
You said you came from the shipwreck
You had leapt off for the ship was dead and I
Took you in and you made this your home and I
Was the captain so this I do know, that

[Chorus]
The captain goes down with the ship
So I won’t see you again, I hope you know this
The captain goes down with the ship
So as I’m drowning I hope you know that I will miss you

[Verse 2]
We sailed across the seven seas
And it was just, just you and me and we fought
All the harshest weather as it came
And we painted on our vessel’s name
You promised we’d sail forever
We’d be free, with the ship we’re together but I
Didn’t think, I didn’t see the signs that it was
Just another way for you to get by, because
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
So I’ll climb the mast and
Look for some land ‘cause
I know you are leaping overboard
And I’ll climb the shrouds and
I’ll hold my ground as
You run away from this sinking mistake, because

The captain goes down with the ship
I’ll never see you again, I hope you know this
The captain goes down with the ship
So as I’m drowning I hope you know that I will miss you

Because

[Chorus][x2]
