Ricky Warwick - Eight Bells lyrics

[Verse 1] The river calm down people here The faith and hope I dream Build this as an outpost Just to hear the eagle scream I watched it rise and touched my sky That mask the very sun I listen to the doubters And claimed it can't be done I've got nothing more to give to you My body tired and sore I've got nothing more to give to you My body tired and sore My face is broken and bloody Punching bedroom doors Before we'd told you we have better days Wrapped up against the cold But hunger roared deep inside Hatred blocked our road [Chorus] I spend all my golden years Trying to wear this thorny crown Seems I'm rearranging debtors now On a ship that's going down On a ship that's going down [Verse 2] I don't know who I tried it for It surely wasn't you The crying when your heart's was week You told me every lie was true There's paper in a pocket Of the golden fire walls I want one last chance of anything Far away from Eren's shore [Chorus] I spend all my golden years Trying to wear this thorny crown Seems I'm rearranging debtors now On a ship that's going down On a ship that going down Don't let go Don't let go Hold on and carry us on Don't let go Don't let go Hold on and carry us on [Verse 3] The ancient kings of towns and york Across Ireland in a day but our roads stretched Out for ever when we chose to run away For no more than a minute As the ropes slipped off the key I tasted my tomorrow And the stillness of the sea [Chorus] I spend all my golden years And wear this thorny crown Seems I'm rearranging debtors now On a ship that's going down On a ships that going down Don't let go Don't let go Hold on and carry us on Don't let go Don't let go Just hold on and carry us on Now don't let go Don't let go Hold on and carry us on
