Lyrics Jimmy Nail – The Last Ship (Part Two)

Father O’Brien:
What do you say, Jackie? Are you with us?

Jackie:
Did you ever wake up from a nightmare so deep

Yes, it’s one final contract, it’s one final task
But he’s asking a question no one’s bothered to ask
For what are we men without a ship to complete
Unless we’re snatching some hope from those jaws of defeat

So this is our moment, this is our grail
This is our Everest, our mountain to scale
Why, it’s a battle we’re fighting
We have to prevail
And we’ll take back the shipyard or we’ll

Men:
End up in jail

Company:
When the last ship sails

Jackie:
Oh, the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers
The noise at the end of the world in your ears
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea
And the

Company:
Last ship sails

Jackie:
And whatever you’d promised, whatever you’ve done
And whatever the station in life you’ve become

Jackie & Father O’Brien:
In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son

Jackie, Father O’Brien & Peggy:
And no matter the weave of this life that you’ve spun
On the

Company:
Earth or in Heaven or under the sun
When the last ship sails
Oh, the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers
The noise at the end of the world in your ears
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea
And the last ship sails
When the last ship sails
