[00:00.00]I'm Waiting for Ships That Never Come In - Ernest Tubb
[00:08.80]I'm waiting for ships that never come in
[00:17.43]Just watching and waiting in vain
[00:25.24]It seems that life's stormy sea holds nothing for me
[00:34.13]But broken dreams and shattered schemes
[00:42.48]With each new day's dawning
[00:46.54]I try to pretend one more tomorrow
[00:54.79]And waiting will end
[00:59.02]I'm waiting for ships that never come in
[01:07.19]I wonder where they can be
[01:15.15]Now life is only a game of poker
[01:18.10]And happiness is the pot
[01:20.79]They'd deal you five cards in the cradle
[01:23.90]And you play with your like it or not
[01:26.89]Now some game pa had a start with
[01:29.94]And the game doesn't seem on the square
[01:32.77]When you pick up your cards
[01:34.33]And discover that you were born
[01:36.62]Without even a pair
[01:38.78]Now some take a chance on bluffing
[01:41.39]And stake everything they've got
[01:43.90]On a little yankee poor flush
[01:45.84]And sometimes that wins a plot
[01:48.55]While others will break up openers to
[01:51.24]Draw for a middle straight
[01:53.14]Why they know the chance they are taking
[01:55.93]But they learned your mistake too late
[01:58.87]Now some can't help plan crook
[02:00.48]It against all good advice
[02:03.91]But they seldom get away with
[02:05.41]It at the end they've paid the price
[02:08.70]Now me I've always been a loser
[02:11.85]Why it seems I never can win
[02:14.26]I'm just a dreamer who's waiting for ships
[02:17.63]That never come in
[02:21.55]I'm waiting for ships that never come in
[02:30.34]I wonder where they can be
