[Verse 1]
Look up from the hymnal
Look 'round at the faces
Of families closing their eyes
We're taking Communion
And passing the offering hat
Around at the same time

[Verse 2]
I reached for the hat
And take all the cash
And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in its place
A note to explain
All of the reasons that stealing has
Led me to leave

[Verse 3]
If there was a worthy cause for to give to
May I be so bold as to say
The givers not knowing where their money's going
Is as sinful as throwing away

[Verse 4]
Stained glasses shine on my red wine
And the sweat of my brow drips to my shaking knees
A small sacrifice to benefit one man's journey away from America's seas
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Sweet sweet sigh of relief
Sweet sweet O Baltic Sea
Ooohhhh
Ooohhhh

[Outro]
Nobody here knows my name
Call it right or wrong
I bought my ticket just the same
