Black Captain

歌詞

Ever see someone do so well that none could ever stop him? Commanding o'er the hardest swell with no force or fault to top him? well, under all and every one is hidden a woman or man. who lights or inspires some higher desires and allows him to do what he can. What power he has, only I know. and now I have let my captain go. I was his true and he made my fortune. He led, from on top of my shoulder He could lead sure when my worship was pure and many times even step bolder. He loved me, and needed, saw trouble, and greeted What seemed so distinguished became plainly vanquished when I went to find life on my own, What power he has, only I know. and now I have let my captain go. Now men laugh at him and say better men number in thousands. nobody ever goes out of his way to lessen his clouds as they crowd in. And I am near by and I watch with a sigh s my captain curls up like a cripple. and hope that he goes where nobody knows under sea and leaves not a ripple. what power he has, only I know and now I have let my captain go.
