Ship Of Fools

de Bob Seger

Tell me quick said old McFee
What's this all have to do with me
I've spent all my time at sea a loner
Is there something else
I should know
Something hidden down below
The level of your conversation

Well he turned away
Before the answer
Though I yelled aloud
He refused to hear

It became to clear
So it went as we put out
I was left in constant doubt
Everything I asked about
Seemed private
The captain strolled
The bridge one night

I stopped him in the evening light
To ask him would it be all
Right to join him
But he stood there
Like some idol
And he listened like some temple
And then he turned away
All along the fateful coast
We moved silent like a ghost

The timeless sea of tireless
Host possessed us
The wind came building
From the cold northwest
And soon the waves began to crest
Crashing cross the forward deck
All hands lost
I alone survived the sinking
I alone possessed the tools
On that ship of fools
