Jane Siberry - Burning Ship слова песни
Sixty thousand sheep on a burning shipSailing across the deep blue seaAnd not a soul in sightAnd the boiler room caught fireAnd the men, the hired menThey set off signalsAnd nearby boats came byAnd they rescued themAnd off they went on their wayTo South America from AustraliaSixty thousand sheepOn the great, great blue seaAnd not a soul in sightFor what purpose? For what purpose?What great things happening on this planetHuge clusters of animals going up in smokeTwo million cows in Great BritainGone in one monthTwo million cowsWho can separate the cows from the people?Two hundred elephants found in a clearingGhastly silence when they found themPregnant cows, baby elephantsAnd not a soul in sightIn one fell swoopAnd then the swoop of swallowsAs they gather in the fallGetting ready to prepare to start to beginTo set upon their long, long flightAt what moment, LordAt what precise momentDo they decide?
