When the willow bends towards the end of day And twilight falls again To the funny sound that a blackbird makes Twilight falls again As no good reason remains, I'll do the same Thinking of you One day a ship comes in, one day a ship comes in But I can't say how or when But I know somewhere the ship comes in every day There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping There is no crime to dreams like this And if you could take something with you It would be right Something good From my fingertips, the cigarette throws ashes to the ground I'd stop and talk to the girls who work this street But I got business farther down Like one long season of rain, I will remain Thinking of you One day a ship comes in From far away a ship comes in One hundred days you wait for it And you know somewhere the ship comes in every day There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping There is no crime to dreams like this And if you could take something with you It would be bright Just like something good One day a ship comes in One hundred days you wait for it Something bright Something so good One hundred days A ship comes in every day You know it's good You know it's good A ship comes in every day One day a ship comes in Its good When it's something good
