If I were the wind and you were the rain That blows from east to west that melts away this pain If I were the sea and you were the sky I could wash away those tears And our hearts again would fly And the pirates and the thieves might bring you to your knees But they'll never board your ship You may have to sail through troubled seas But the stars will always lead you To the sun on the horizon And you will feel life again As the storm shows mercy on your sails
People my people Captain my captain Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores People my people Captain my captain Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores
And the pirates and the buccaneers Who fought you through the years Now kneel and bow to you They see a strength in you And you will be their king And the rest of the world will see And want to follow right behind you Because you fought them off with that weapon The sword of mercy and truth
It's all so fearless now Now the dust ha settled down It's time to say goodbye To the lives I touched and left behind But through this melody and rhyme I'll find some comfort here
On waters new we set sail Our eyes set on a new world It's time to wave goodbye Wiped from your memory But so fair of face and a heart of gold If I were the wind and you were the rain That blows from east to west that melts away this pain If I were the sea and you were the sky I could wash away those tears And our hearts again would fly And the pirates and the thieves might bring you to your knees But they'll never board your ship You may have to sail through troubled seas But the stars will always lead you To the sun on the horizon And you will feel life again As the storm shows mercy on your sails
People my people Captain my captain Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores People my people Captain my captain Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores
And the pirates and the buccaneers Who fought you through the years Now kneel and bow to you They see a strength in you And you will be their king And the rest of the world will see And want to follow right behind you Because you fought them off with that weapon The sword of mercy and truth
It's all so fearless now Now the dust ha settled down It's time to say goodbye To the lives I touched and left behind But through this melody and rhyme I'll find some comfort here
On waters new we set sail Our eyes set on a new world It's time to wave goodbye Wiped from your memory But so fair of face and a heart of gold My son my son
