Tom T. Hall - Ships Go Out lyrics

Ships go out I see them every day Ships go out I watch them sail away And on the decks I see my smiling friends Ships go out but they never do come in ( sax ) Ships go out I watch them disappear Ships go out and leave me standing here And I don't know if that's where life begins Ships go out but they never do come in When life is cheap it never seems to last When life is sweet it seems to go too fast So on the dock I tell the idle wind Ships go out but they never do come in ( sax ) Ships go out onto the seas so high Ships go out beneath an endless sky And on the shore is where their stories end Ships go out but they never do come in When life is cheap it never seems to last... Ships go out
