We've whispered out loud

but your breeze doesn't bend

We're lying in the palm of your hand

No land we see, no place to be

the salt of your tears has stained to our hearts

There's no long years can tear us apart

Our futures entwined with your heart

Because when we lie awake we'll be thinking of you

Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home

Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home

Bravado is overdone and patience is down

You scared us and you've turned us around

But you wont let us drown

Because when we lie asleep we'll be dreaming of you

Blow, grey lady blow your ships back home

(blow your ships back)

Blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)

grey lady blow your ships back home

So answer us when we call

and say if you think we're wrong

When life is so short we can't stay long

But you'll never be alone

Because one day we'll return - we'll be waiting for you

Blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)

grey lady blow your ships back home

(blow your ships back)

Blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)

grey lady blow your ships back home

(blow your ships back)

Blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)

grey lady blow your ships back home

(blow your ships back)

Blow (lady, grey lady grey lady blow)

grey lady blow your ships back home
