Their maps didn't match up,
When he finally began to catch up
With all the warning signs he'd drove past blind
She tried hard to deliver
Her words disguised and disfigured,
But everytime she tried they never came out right
And she would sing,
When will my ship roll in?
When will I sail away?
When will my timing fall into perfect place?
When will the stars that shine, shine me on my way?
When will my ship roll in, and take me away?
She stood in the shadow
of a reflection she did not know
That's when her questions all began again
Who's life have I been living?
Who's love have I been giving?
Lost sleep worrying she would never dream again.
And she would sing,
When will my ship roll in?
When will I sail away?
When will my timing fall into perfect place?
When will the stars that shine, shine me on my way?
When will my ship roll in, and take me away?
Just watch as the tide rolls out,
Watch it come back around,
The rhythm of the sea
Tell me can you see?
You know that everything is just how it should be now,
Well, you're here with me
