Sting — The Last Ship Finale

Jackie: It’s a strange kind of beauty, it’s cold and austere And whatever it was that you’ve done to be here It’s the sum of your hopes, your despairs and your fears When this last ship sails Now everything’s ship shape, the drag chains we've checked Send this shop down the slipway and it’s all hands on deck Gideon & Jackie: For nothing’ll stop us, we have to prevail Through the teeth of this tempest In the mouth of a gale May the angels protect us Company: If all else should fail When the last ship sails Oh the roar of the chains (roar) And the cracking of timbers The noise at the end of the world in your ears As a mountain of steel (mountain) Makes its way to the sea and The last ship sails Meg (spoken): Go Tom, go to your father! Company: And whatever you’d promised, whatever you’ve done And whatever the station in life you’ve become In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son And no matter the weave of this life that you’ve spun On the Earth or in Heaven or under the sun When the last ship sails When the last ship sails!
