ROBERT PLANT Ship Of Fools

On waves of love my heart is breaking
stranger still my self-control.
I can't rely on anymore
new tides surprise.
My word it's changing
within this frame,
an ocean swells
behind this smile.
I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon –
I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm
adrift in pleasure
I may drown
I built this ship it is my making
and further more my self control
I can't rely anymore

You claim that no man is an island
while I land up in jeopardy
more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
and at my feet eternity
lays ever sweeter plans for me
I know why
helpless on a ship of fools
turn this boat around back
to my loving ground
ship of fools
