The Captain

Charlie Peacock


I keep a close watch on how fast I’m sinking
I lose some sleep but that’s alright
I still rise with the sun, pray thy will be done
And navigate the lane between sadness and delight

I’ve got the least amount of time that I’ve ever had
My heart is full, my mind is quick
My body wants to lay it down
I’m a riddle, I’m a puzzle, I’m a quandary all around
I’m the Captain of a ship that’s going down
I’m the Captain of a ship that’s going down

I keep a close watch on my bow and my stern
I will not rest till waves are stilled
It will take me all night, be the fight of my life
But I will see the sun come up on love, love fulfilled

I’ve got the least amount of time that I’ve ever had
My heart is full, my mind is quick
My body wants to lay it down
I’m a riddle, I’m a puzzle, I’m a quandary all around
I’m the Captain of a ship that’s going down
I’m the Captain of a ship that’s going down
I’m the Captain of a ship that’s going down
