Titanic Movie (other tracks) soundtrack – Aboard The Carpathia lyrics

One moment the ship was there - the next she was gone.
There were over a thousand poor souls floundering in the freezing water...
We wanted to go back for them of course to pick them up...
But they would have swamped us... then no one could have survived...
The sound they made was deafening like there was an
entire football stadium out there in the dark...
And then after half an hour...
It just stopped...
I'm ashamed to say I was relieved...
I'll hear those voices for the rest of my life...
Why shouldn't I have taken a place in the lifeboat?
It would have gone empty...

There were more than 450 empty seats in the lifeboat...
The women were so brave. Alone in the dark in the middle of the ocean...
If only I had seen that iceberg before it was too late..
If only they hadn't kept increasing the speed...
If only the Kalifornia had heard my call. I stayed with the key 'til the end. They could have saved every man, woman and child aboard...
We were only 95 miles from dry land...

When dawn came we could see the ice everywhere...
And it was all bathed in pink and hundreds of deck chairs floating in the water...
All of the poor women children in third class who never made it to the boats...
All of the musicians who kept playing Autumn right to the very end...
With only 711 survivors - 1517 souls lost their lives.

Including the man I called my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...
And my husband...

And after only a few minutes the largest moving object on earth had totally disappeared...
