He lives in an empty deck Grey and silent waves Eyes fixed in the horizon And he cries again He feels all hope is lost His luck is gone Thinks there is no future Keeps holding the rope The last ship has sailed away Sinking down down down In deep water (Deep water, sinking down down down) The Rainbow's outta reach He feels the pain He tries to catch the light but He's with ball and chain Can't face reality And tries to fade He tries to hide, oh yes! In whisky and ale The last ship has sailed away Sinking down down down In deep water (Deep water, sinking down down down) The last ship has sailed away Sinking down down down In deep water (Deep water, sinking down down down) A white sail is crossing now the line (Deep water) Pulls the chain and break it down (Deep water) Sees a chance to leave his pain behind (Deep water) Rainbow's now right at his hand He will sail and sail away To the promised land through deep water (Deep water, sail away and away)
