歌词

[00:11.000] They're seriously saying it's prolonging me life,
[00:14.000] If I'll only submit to the surgical knife?
[00:19.000] But what are the odds on a month or a week?
[00:22.000] When the betting shop's closing its doors, so to speak.
[00:28.000] When you're tied to a pump and a breathing machine,
[00:31.000] With their X-rays and probes and their monitor screens,
[00:35.000] And they'll wake ye up hungry, saying "How do ye feel?"
[00:39.000] And then you're stuffed full of pills and a barium meal.
[00:45.000] Prolonging me life? Now that's some kind of joke!
[00:49.000] I'd be laughing me head off and I'd probably choke.
[00:53.000] The spirit's still willing but the rest of me's weak,
[00:56.000] Now the bets are all off and the prospects look bleak,
[01:00.000] When you're laid like a piece of old meat on the slab,
[01:05.000] And they'll cut and they'll slice, and they'll poke and they'll jab,
[01:08.000] And they'll grill ye and burn ye, and they'll wish ye good health,
[01:12.000] With their radium, chemo and God knows what else?
[01:18.000] Well ye can't fault the science, though the logic is weak,
[01:21.000] Is it really an eternal life we should seek?
[01:25.000] That ship has sailed,
[01:28.000] That ship has sailed,
[01:32.000] That ship has already sailed...So to speak.
[01:38.000] Our mission is more than a struggle for breath,
[01:41.000] For a few extra rounds in a fight to the death.
[01:45.000] When our mission is love, and compassion and grace,
[01:49.000] It's not a test of endurance, or a marathon race.
[01:55.000] For love is the sabre, and love is the shield,
[01:59.000] Love is the only true power we wield,
[02:02.000] An eternal love is all ye should seek,
[02:08.000] That ship will be ready to sail...So to speak
[02:18.000] I hear what you're saying 'cos I've heard it before,
[02:21.000] But I'm afraid if I let what is past through my door,
[02:25.000] How long would he stay, a month or a week,
[02:31.000][02:37.000] Should I settle for something that's safe on this Earth?
[02:42.000] What would it profit me, what is it worth?
[02:46.000] If I lose something precious, completely unique?
[02:50.000] When it's only eternity's love we should seek,
[02:55.000] For when that ship sails, and the course has been set,
[03:00.000] And the wind's in the offing and the sails have been let,
[03:04.000] And the hatches are full, and the hull doesn't leak,
[03:11.000] And the ship is all ready to sail...So to speak.
[03:20.000] I'm tired and fading and losing the light,
[03:25.000] And I've no way to tell if it's day or it's night,
[03:31.000] Follow your heart, it's the harbour ye seek,
[03:38.000] And this ship is ready to sail,
[03:43.000] This ship is ready to sail,
[03:47.000] This ship is ready to sail...So to speak.
