Description
I recently was home sick with a nasty chest cold and was tinkering around with a cheap mandolin I had just bought (my first one - an Epiphone - plays surprisingly well for the pittance I paid for it). I wrote this ditty to cheer myself up while I recovered.

Lyrics
maybe baby when the time is right
we'll leave together in the moonlit night
wash our hands of all the mess we'll leave behind
we'll sail together to the setting sun
make a melody and when we're done
we'll write a song about a brand new peace of mind
maybe baby when the ship comes in
we'll drink a bottle of bathtub gin
climb the ladder from the humdrum hole we're in
we'll wag a finger to the cosmic tune
sip the nectar from a silver spoon
and dance together as we watch our ship come in
holy moly, what a mess we're in
everything has got the stink of sin
we're really muddled in the mire that holds us here
but maybe baby if we get away
we'll make it better, we'll forget today
and raise a toast 'cause the coast is almost clear -
and so, my dear.....
maybe baby when the ship comes in
we'll drink a bottle of bathtub gin
take a breather from the awful mess we're in
we'll wag a finger to the cosmic tune
sip the nectar from a silver spoon
and dance together as we watch our ship come in
we'll leave together in the moonlit night
wash our hands of all the mess we'll leave behind
we'll sail together to the setting sun
make a melody and when we're done
we'll write a song about a brand new peace of mind
maybe baby when the ship comes in
we'll drink a bottle of bathtub gin
climb the ladder from the humdrum hole we're in
we'll wag a finger to the cosmic tune
sip the nectar from a silver spoon
and dance together as we watch our ship come in
holy moly, what a mess we're in
everything has got the stink of sin
we're really muddled in the mire that holds us here
but maybe baby if we get away
we'll make it better, we'll forget today
and raise a toast 'cause the coast is almost clear -
and so, my dear.....
maybe baby when the ship comes in
we'll drink a bottle of bathtub gin
take a breather from the awful mess we're in
we'll wag a finger to the cosmic tune
sip the nectar from a silver spoon
and dance together as we watch our ship come in
