Three Shaky Ships

Three shaky ships on a cruel sea

Loving you has changed me

Expanded my horizons

Cleared my head

I’d give you some advice

That will stand you in good stead

Beautiful daughters, this is how it’s always been

One rule for the king, another for the queen

Give to each a little and they’ll beg for you to stay

Give promises and kisses, but not your heart away

 

For love will scare you, if you love so blind

Shake you and tear you, time after time

Love will scare you

Love will scare you if you love so blind

 

My only son, you wax and wane

In harmony or else in pain

Perfection is a thankless task

What you need is there

You just have to ask

And let love scare you, when you love so blind

Shake you and tear you and cloud your mind

Let love scare you

Let love scare you when you love so blind

Stay close, give thanks

Open hearts, close ranks

Stay close, give thanks

Open hearts, close ranks

Stay close, give thanks

Open hearts, close ranks

Stay close, give thanks,

Open hearts, close ranks

Stay close, give thanks

Open hearts, close ranks

Stay close, give thanks

Open hearts, close ranks
