There's a Russian ship out lost at sea in changing times There's a lonely tide that brings to mind the days gone by And the simple fact that leads me back is that no-one cared There's a Russian ship out lost at sea and I feel scared And look now look theres another book And look now, theres a story That in Kiev, they were tearing down statues Tzarolena, where's our world gone Tzarolena, where's our home gone Mother Russia's out there sinking
And the western world is thinking That we're better off than what we were And the Russian ship that's lost at sea is listing fast 'Cause the man who tried the changing wnds hsa burst its mast As I think about what's left and how it's And there's shame inside 'cause I denied the days I miss Do you think we'll ever be happy here N a come what may Do you think we'll ever be satisfied Living life this way
