The Captain

The captain rocks his ship
Into the rocks, where should we
Give him a second chance
With birth and dying based on chance
The first mate tried in vain
To reason with his leader
But he failed to heed the warning
Now there's wreckage in the morning
The ocean floor is filled with forgotten gold
And the tears of fallen captains keep the salty waters full
And you might think his folly obvious and blind
But who among us hasn't needed judgment tossed aside?
Oh no
The morning light is creeping
Through the curtains
And the birds are singing bittersweet
He was up while we were sleeping
He tried in vain
To join the vessel down below
But he lived to see the humble day
And face his folly, time to pay
The ocean floor is filled with forgotten gold
And the tears of fallen captains keep the salty waters full
And you might think his folly obvious and blind
But who among us hasn't needed judgment tossed aside?
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh no
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The ocean floor is filled with forgotten gold
And the tears of fallen captains keep the salty waters full
And you might think his folly obvious and blind
But who among us hasn't needed judgment tossed aside?
Oh no
