about

Imagine a journey where you can start again, a clean slate and everything to live for, does such a thing exist? It can if it's in a song.

lyrics

I fell asleep on New Years Eve
Wrapped in my leaving coat
With a packed bag and a ticket
I'd never miss that boat
All the flags were flying
All the crew were fit
As we tipped our hats to the west wind
And sailed on the Liberty Ship

Now I'm a trusty shellback
But I've often been mistook
Must be the smile on my face
I'm older than I look
All the seabirds flying
Trying to catch the wind
As we said goodbye to sorrow
And sailed on the Liberty Ship

I won't talk of where I've been
It's not for me to say
Or speak about some other things
That were lost along the way
So keep them engines humming
Keep them fires lit
We'll give thanks to fortune
As we sail on the Liberty Ship

I've sung 'Oh Susanna!'
And 'My Darling Clementine'
But looking back's a losing game
I'm not the losing kind
I'll sing a song to the North star
But I won't wish on it
I'll sing a song for tomorrow
As we sail on the Liberty Ship

So keep them engines humming
Keep them fires lit
We'll give thanks to fortune
As we sail on the Liberty Ship
