Rick Springfield - Our Ship's Sinking Lyrics






If I’m the one who caused your shipwrecked life
Then hold my hand, right to the fire
And I’ll bear this cross of love
Enough for you, enough for me yeah
Even though the water’s all around, climbing higher

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won’t let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

I booked a passage on a ship of fools
And I led the lamb right to the slaughter
We survived the storm somehow
I missed it then, I see it now and
It’s a wonder I’m not laying face down in the water

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won't let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

Though our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
And ten good reasons you can believe
So don't start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Bruised sky I can hear the thunder
These chains would have dragged me under
It’s a wonder I’m not laying face down in the water
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Though our ship’s sinking I'm rowing and I swear
I won’t give up and I won’t let go
So don’t start thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you go

Though our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
And ten good reasons you can believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

(Our ship’s sinking) Whoa, whoa, whoa
(Though our ship's sinking) Whoa, whoa, whoa

    This is Rick Springfield at his Best! Songs for The End Of The World & Rocket Science are such an inspiration to me right now as a musician. Rick is fantasic human being, and very talented musician! Love his playing, songwriting & voice!

  50. R.... ....

    Inspirational in his weakest and his strongest moments. A real blessing to the tired, repetitive music industry.

  51. l.... t....

    this is for james dodd. my dad tours with rick and they don't just fake it, they have a cordless plugin that connects with their amps.

  52. K.... P....

    I absolutely LOVE this song!  Why aren't all the radio stations playing it? Rick is still rockin it even in his sixties!  He is frickin awesome!!!

    K.... P....

    Radio doesnt play this stuff because all they think people want to hear is rap and new country garbage. Rick is great!

    K.... P....

    yeah I agree radio stations just don't play the good stuff! this song deserves to be played.

  53. l.... t....

    this kinda looks like a music video

  54. R.... C....

    Bloody 'ell!!!
    Rick is better than ever!!!!!

  55. K.... R....

    I may only be in my 30s but I grew up with Rick Springfield in the 80s and I love his music in the 2000s it lifts up my heart! I don't know where I'd be without it!

  56. K.... R....

    I absolutely love it I don't know what else to say

  57. D.... F....

    Great song, but to be honest, I had no idea he had put out an album recently.  Oh well, went to Amazon and bought the album.  This video will be great to watch at the gym!

    D.... F....

    +Disney Fan 310 He has a new CD coming out in Jan 2016

  58. M.... R....

    Goddamn, this is good!

  59. m.... ....

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW great track, I ordered the new cd!!!

  60. D.... ....

    Fantastic album from start to finish. Amazing. Radio programmers have no clue what good music is any more. Several cuts from this release are easily Top 10's in better days.

  61. R.... W....

    He looks pretty good at 63 years old. Never a fan but damn, dude.

  62. S.... I....

    The radio only plays Jessie's Girl. I love the song but Rick Springfield is so much more. I love this song from his new CD. I love him

  63. C.... H....

    Lovin it! Go Rick!

  64. C.... P....

    that's without doubt my favourite song from the new album. Simply great!

  65. K.... C....

    One badass song that should be a top 10 hit!!

  66. l.... ....

    Great new song with pretty deep meaning. You wouldn't have expected this song from '80s Rick Springfield, but it's really super and timely. Thanks for sharing this - his voice still sounds great too!

    l.... ....

    lejjamie1 Actually, read the lyrics of his 80's songs and you'll find he was never bubble gum - he always rocked and sang about mature subject matter. He was too damn good looking for his own good in the age of video. It was a double edged sword for him. Rock of Life was his master piece IMHO. Then he self exiled due to depression and writing block. Glad he made it back.

  67. R.... Z....

    Rick still got game! Keeps getting better.

  68. J.... H....

    Dave Grohl was right..... Dude can rock!
