Alabama 3 - Before The Ship Came In lyrics
[Alabama 3 - Before The Ship Came In lyrics]
On the 7th day the horses came
Neon dust on the horizon
Stirring up hope
In this city of ghosts
A message from the silence
Grown men cried like children
While some children grew suspicious
Asked the women why Mother Earth would say goodbye
To the last of her pantomime villains
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in
I could have made you happy
If you just could have let me go
This road I'm travelling on
Ain't no road that'll take you home
You never should have listened
When I whispered in your ear
Everything gonna be alright
When we get out of here
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on the beaches
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Neon dust on the horizon
Stirring up hope
In this city of ghosts
A message from the silence
Grown men cried like children
While some children grew suspicious
Asked the women why Mother Earth would say goodbye
To the last of her pantomime villains
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in
I could have made you happy
If you just could have let me go
This road I'm travelling on
Ain't no road that'll take you home
You never should have listened
When I whispered in your ear
Everything gonna be alright
When we get out of here
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on beaches
Before the ship came in
My eyes saw the glory
You heard the angels sing
We built sandcastles on the beaches
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
Before the ship came in
