Robert Plant - Ship Of Fools Lyrics






On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world 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 furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims 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 draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

  43. T.... P....

    Just sitting here drinking rum all alone and bored at less than a week away from 51 yrs old enjoying this beautiful song from my past and feeling all meloncoly wondering where all the time went.

  44. D.... S....

    Still a fantastic song.

  45. c.... ....

    Wow...New tides surprise - my world it's changing

  46. M.... W....

    This song came out in the winter time and always reminds me of that.

  47. P.... B....

    Thank you Robert.

  48. P.... G....

    This is simply magical. Not many could ever.

  49. M.... K....

    Robbie Blunt......I saw Robert solo with Robbie at the Irvine Meadows and in the day.....With Jimmy Page again at Irvine Meadows and with Led Zeppelin at the Forum in Inglewood in 1977 .....The late Keith Moon joined them to play drums with the late and great Jon Bonham also.......Legends.......

  50. M.... C....

    E essa mãozinha, Robert??? Kkkkkk 😂

  51. J.... K....

    I agree

  52. O.... M....

    One of my favorites... 👌🌞

  53. k.... k....

    Nice music

  54. B.... ....

    And I thought my friend who was recognized by the Pentagon as the"Father of Infrared Guidance" was brilliant, Plant is absolute genius!

  55. M.... ....

    ...I always listen to this tune if I am doing something, errrr "marginal." I can't put it much better than that. Hahahahah. Perhaps all of humanity is one big "Ship of Fools?"

  56. B.... D....

    Oh so good!

  57. P.... G....

    Una bella voce molto spesso non significa una bella canzone.. Non si digerisce molto bene

  58. T.... S....

    And where shall we sail to next ye ship 'o' fools? Lets us embark upon a merry sail across the sea :-) Off ye go ye land lubber....this is no place for the grounded but a place for the dreamers.....

  59. M.... M....

    Robert is the man.....the work with LZ is timeless. Yet Rob's solo/80s body of work is amazing.

  60. M.... G....

    Such a great song. No one could have done this any better than Robert Plant. The ending to the song with the piano and guitar just highlight the magic of the entire song.

  61. R.... K....

    The Viking ocean/sea vessels.

  62. P.... T....

    The Muse certainly blessed this Master! Utterly awesome masterpiece shining through pop music desolation!

  63. A.... �....

    Love you Planty... 😇😇😇 Love you

  64. m.... ....

    ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!!!

  65. A.... J....

    Romantic AF

  66. N.... N....

    I love this song... So happy I just saw him 09-29-19 in Spokane, he sounds amazing... his voice is a one of a kind...

  67. c.... r....

    Massive....try playing this at around between 2\3am when is pissing down with rain. The combination of twilight the rain and this playing at a soft level works..... well ok only in my world lol xx

  68. m.... ....

    I remember the first time I heard this song.. straight to the phone (yes it was a thing mounted to the wall) to tell my bud to tune in before it ended. Good times.

  69. K.... S....

    In my opinion I honestly believe that Robert was updating Stairway to Heaven. The whole album was embracing and updating the legend of Zeppelin. Again my opinion this is quite the modernized version of his former calling card

  70. B.... C....

    I agree with Vicky

  71. b.... ....

    This is my all time favourite song.

  72. P.... T....

    AWESOME.... MORE PLEASE MORE ...THIS IS THE WAY

  73. V.... R....

    ssiiiiikkkk!

  74. 2.... ....

    Anyone hitting the dislike button should be sentenced to a life without music, the disrespect is real.

  75. V.... P....

    Upsss I was wrong again

  76. D.... S....

    Got to know this song in '89, in the final episode of Miami Vice 'Free fall'.

  85. L.... L....

    Great song! Loved it since the 1980s. But the video looks like it was produced for $23.99. Probably even cheaper, if they didn't have to buy the curtains.

  86. S.... R....

    Boyle was amazing guitar player ..

  87. g.... j....

    Hey , from a 71 year old, nearly 72, YOU did not live through the post vietnam war, all the brilliant bands that rose up and discussed our need for social change, plus we were blessed with this gift of outrageously great bands, you would have to been there and live it. Learn!!!

  88. M.... W....
