Easyship - music and lyrics by Jenniphre Zias, Robyn Monks, Linda Good, copyright 2007 verse 1: I was born in hurricaneit nourished me on pouring rainlearned to love when I'd sense the shadeof a storm against my shoulder Put my anchor down in New Orleansanother teenage heart, in half beliefdrank away my fears on Bourbon Streetat 23 drownin' in misery(time to) chorus: Chart the skytake me far beyond the reefGod please, I need some reliefthis hardship is sinkin' my faith'I wanna sail on an easyship today verse 2: Broken down out of Birminghamat least I liked the way I looked back thenI was pregnant by the time I leftwith that still against my shoulder So I low-tailed it to Tupelothe baby came when I was all aloneBarely heard his cryin' above my ownwith an empty chest, and miles to go(time to) chorus: Open chargeThrough those tidal waves of painWatch the stars to guide my waythis hardship is sinkin' my faithI wanna sail on an easyship today solo for 4-6 bars verse 3: Charleston has now become a homebecause I have a love I've never knownteaching my baby where the treasures foundAnd if he runs aground (alt. that if he runs aground) (alt. before it runs aground)how to turn his ship around (alt. he can turn his ship around...and say)(how to) chorus: Chart the skyHow to go beyond the reef (alt. take me far beyond the reef)Thank God for reliefAnd when hardship is sinkin' your faithYou can sail on an easyship today |
