about

The locals’ name for Ely Cathedral. The flatness of the area means it can be seen 20 miles away at certain points where it resembles a ship on the horizon.

lyrics

Ship of the Fens, guide me to harbour.
Ship of the Fens, show the way to your door.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope to the fenmen.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope ever more.

Fragile land of the Fens, you've taken the lives of so many men.
They dug the drains and built the banks, windmills tilting to the wind.
So I cross the Welney Causeway, The Bedford river and The Delph.
Swans and Herons watch me passing by, I'm not alone but by myself.

Ship of the Fens, guide me to harbour.
Ship of the Fens, show the way to your door.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope to the fenmen.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope ever more.

I'm moving southwards to The Isle, water's northern path to Lynn.
Fields of wheat stretch forever, land so flat and wearing thin.
Endless sky is all around me, horizon everywhere I look.
And there she sits so proud and mighty, bringing me safely back to shore.

Ship of the Fens, guide me to harbour.
Ship of the Fens, show the way to your door.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope to the fenmen.
Ship of the Fens, giving hope ever more.
