Braide-Tilbrook Little ships sailing away, your s**tant set for the sun I've tried my best to show you how life can be cruel and fun You will soon un-tether yourselves and then quietly slip from my grasp I have loved you from your first breath and always will till my last Little ships sailing away, into new unchartered waters You may meet with little Bo Peep or Captain Birds Eyes daughter Anything can happen to you I will always hear what you say Now it's up to you to decide between what's bad and what's OK
Scupper, boson, any port in a storm And the home fires still burning and warm And your rations are caviar or quorn Whoever you're attracted to it's your choice and it's OK On a solo life adventure Little ships sailing away to a hopeful happy ending I know from time to time it's our money you'll be spending But I never counted the cost Though I'm happy I'm slightly lost It's another bridge I'll cross Saying goodbye my little ships, goodbye my little ships
