Lyrics


Everybody, listen to me

And return me my ship

I'm your captain, I'm your captain

Though I'm feeling mighty sick


I've been lost now, days uncounted

And it's months since I've seen home

Can you hear me, can you hear me

Or am I all alone


If you return me to my home port

I will kiss you, Mother Earth

Take me back now, take me back now

To the port of my birth


Am I in my cabin dreaming

Or are you really scheming

To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it

I just can't live without it

So, please don't take my ship from me, yeah, yeah, yeah


I can feel the hand of a stranger

And it's tightening around my throat

Heaven help me, Heaven help me

Take this stranger from my boat


I'm your captain, I'm your captain

Though I'm feeling mighty sick

Everybody, listen to me

And return me my ship


I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home, oh


I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
