This Ship - Martina Sorbara

Written by：Martina Sorbara/Adam Hay

Trying to read her palm

With a clenched fist

Calling out for whatever's in store

Asking god did the devil put you up to this

Whatever it is I can't take it any more

She says I'm gonna make

Something of myself tonight

God and the devil I'll show you up

I can fight back and I just might

Your tempting business isn't

All that tough

She's thrown all caution to the wind

Hoping to catch it in her sails

When her ship comes in

But this ship won't float

No it just don't

Parading around town

With her open wounds

Saying hush now don't tell a soul

Any charity will come too soon

I can get through this on my own

And she's recruiting sympathy like it's an army

And as the front lines fall she brings new lines up

She says keep on your tip-toes boys

My tissue's scarring

Collecting pity like change in a cup

And she's thrown all caution to the wind

Hoping to catch it in her sails

When her ship comes in

But this ship won't float

No it just don't

She won't make it worth her while

She won't let it get her down

Just try hard to keep that smile

But it's just an upside-down frown

I said make it worth your while

I said let it get you down

Why try so hard to keep that smile

When it's just an upside-down frown

Trying to read her palm

With a clenched fist

Calling out for more

Saying god and the devil

You won't get away with this

When my ship comes in

I'll win this war

God and the devil

You haven't seen the end of this

When my ship comes in

I'll win this war

I'll win this war

When my ship comes in

I'll win this war
