Reb Fountain - Swim To the Star lyrics

The ship went went down in cold water
The band played on
Women and children float away
Nearer my god to thee
The crew, the black gang
And men who made her
Nameless, gone, all gone
Cry out to the world
We're going down, we're going down
We're going down dead sons, lost lovers
Fathers and brothers gone
Belfast, Southampton weeping, weeping women

Over and over and over
Ships of state, ships of fools
Lower the lifeboats
The rich sail away, nеarer to god are they
No powеr, no glory only hope remains
Swim to the star down, down, in dark water
The show goes on cry out to the stars
We're going down, we're going down
We're going down the stars listen
The stars listen and drift away
