## Lyrics
[verse]
We set the sails at midnight, nobody checked the chart
Half the crew was laughing while the other lost its heart
The captain swore he knew the stars, but every star was wrong
Now we're drifting further out where the current's running strong

[chorus]
This ship of fools is sinking slow
Nobody wants to say it, nobody wants to know
This ship of fools is drifting on
Praying for a harbor that we know is already gone

[verse]
They painted up the hull to hide the cracks along the side
Sold us all a compass but the needle only lied
We danced upon the deck while the water climbed the stairs
Nobody wanted to believe that anybody cared

[chorus]
This ship of fools is sinking slow
Nobody wants to say it, nobody wants to know
This ship of fools is drifting on
Praying for a harbor that we know is already gone

[bridge]
I saw the lighthouse flicker somewhere far behind
I should have swum for shore and left the fools behind
But I stayed on for love, or maybe just for pride
Watching all the water rising with the tide

[chorus]
This ship of fools is sinking slow
Nobody wants to say it, nobody wants to know
This ship of fools is drifting on
Praying for a harbor that we know is already gone
