(Originally written and performed by Bob Dylan)
Oh, the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
And the seas will split
And the ships will hit
And the sands on the shore will be shakin'
And the tide will sound
And the winds will pound
And the morning will be breaking
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls will be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sands will roll
Out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
NOTE: As any self-respecting fan of the original Rock Bobster will tell you, Idlewild don't perform the whole song as performed by Bob Dylan. The full Dylan lyrics can be found at his official website.)
