Lyrics:

Well the sail
The sail on this ship come
Crashing down
And the rope
That is your love slips
Slips from my hand

Now hold fast your fingers
Don't let her slip away
Hold fast 'cause you need her
To get to the calm' of the bay

Now the bow
The bow on this ship is
Under the sea
But I won't let go the rope though
Though the waves cover me

Now hold fast your fingers
Don't let her slip away
Hold fast 'cause I need her
To get the ship back to the bay
