Watching The Ships Roll In Lyrics
Watching the ships roll in,
Hoping that i will still be his friend in the morning.
Watching those ships roll by,
Wishing that I could move this earth,
If I could, for you I would do.
I got nothing to say,
I got nothing to lay at your feet,
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man,
That I couldnt be.
Still watching the ocean move,
If only I could show you my soul and places I’ve been.
Watching the ocean curl,
And little girls playing in the sand, as I am bored, longing to listen to you talk.
I got nothing to say,
I got nothing to lay at your feet.
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man,
That I couldnt be.

I'm pretty sure this song is about Max.
oh wow good point it def does
wow. this song is amazing. i cant believe it doesnt have more comments. i think it could be about max =] wow. luke
Amazing song Really very good
Pretty amazing for a b-side. I remember when I spent 2 weeks at my grandpa's I almost spent everyday sitting on french creek beach where there is a harbour beside it and I listened to this song and it fit the environment perfectly. It inspired a couple of my drawings
What happened with Max? He was the bass player right?
Max was let go. He would miss regularly as well as a drug problem.

although i understand how it could be about max (and it probably is)i also like the whole notion of the song for once not being about a relationship. it can be a friend song in a broad sense not just about max. also the song has this feel, as if the singer feels as if he has done him wrong in some way, it sounds like a bit of an apology (maybe a sorry for not being able to hold him up? ) i really dislike the way the last line is sung though...sounds off. other than that gorgeous song.
I think this song is from a man who is dying, talking to his baby son!
"Hoping that i will still be his friend in the morning" he's hoping he has more time to spend with his son before he passes.
"I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man, That I couldnt be" he's hoping his son will grow old, and do all the things he wants to do in life, unlike his father who didn't have time!
" longing to listen to you talk" he wants to watch his son grow up, and hear him speak his first words, knowing that he cant!
i think this song is really sad, but i think it's amazing too :)
