[Verse 1]

Baby it's been a long time, we've been sitting on drydock

And it seems like all the pathways have been blocked

Now the tides have turned and the rewards we have earned
Em A
Bringing us good feeling, set our hearts a-reeling, baby
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping

When you hold me tight, everything's all right, darlin'
