I thought I saw my ship a-comingnComing here for menI thought I saw my ship a-comingnHere to make me freennBut what has been will be forlorn, I sit here until dawnnI don't wanna live for the cannons in your warnnI thought I saw my ship a-comingnSailing towards this coastnI thought I saw my ship a-comingnNo Jolly Roger hoistnNo Jolly Roger hoistnnBut what has been will be forever and nothing will ever changenAnd so until then I'll be the cabin boy of your songnnI thought I saw my ship a-comingnOn scented ocean spraynI thought I saw my ship a-comingnHere to stow awaynnBut what has been will be forever the albatross's dreamnAnd so forevermore Abyssinia waits for me
