Glen Burtnick: The day your ship gets thru [lyrics]

Glen Burtnick

The day your ship gets thru

I know it's hard (so hard) and it ain't like in the movies

You're a hard working girl

We all get tired, (tired of waiting) so tired of looking

For some justice in this world

But you gotta believe something comes from all the hurting

And it all don't add up until the final curtain

Baby, I'll stand by you until the day that your ship gets through

The fog is rolling in, but that won't last forever it'll come and go by

There's a crack in the walk, a tugging on the heart

And a leak up in the sky

That's when a seed reaches out and a flower starts unfolding

And the heavens open up

Oh, just like I told you baby I'll stand by you

Until the day that your ship gets through

No one's gonna take advantage

No one's gonna break your heart

Nobody's pulling out the rug from underneath the things you love

Love - it's the flame that burns forever

And the rain ain't no threat

So never mind the weather baby

I'll be standing right beside you 'til the day that your ship gets through

Right until the day that your ship gets through
