Written and composed by William Fuller and Spencer Kimball

Bless me, father Adrift, eyes down For I have sinned Bless me, mother Who gets the raft? For where I’ve been

it’s been years The captain was mad Since I’ve been here I don’t remember Some knew despair We all knew fear

Chorus: A ship of sin A sip of gin A ship of sadness A sip of gladness Barely afloat In the penance boat

Forgive me my friend We both may fall As Medusa grins Boat in the distance Gave me hope When I looked up again

Chorus

For different reasons Kneeling now Kneeling then Half dead Today I rise With penance and a last amen

Chorus
