Artist: Dave Matthews Band Album: The Lillywhite Sessions (2001) Title: Captain (lillywhite version)
Lyrics Captain (lillywhite version)Crazy as I may Make my way through this world Oh, it's for no one but me to say What direction I should turn in now
Cause I am the captain of this ship Wanting eyes and kissing lips The same as it was And will remain until I'm done and gone
Strange, but it seems There's mutiny brewing inside of me now I don't want your pity Just the promise that I'll be alright
Cause I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was And will be until I'm gone
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still think it's strange? I won't be here for long Oh, I know that I feel Oh, wait and go again, again
Oh, look, I'm buried Like a cancer eating away inside of me I don't want your pity Only the promise that I'll be okay now
But I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was before here Here, back after all
Why should I be hypnotized By the promise of a long life? Why should I hold hope In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by? Why should I lean on everything upon I won't be here long
Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still seems a truth I won't be long for here Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this On now your lips I'm drowning
I am the captain of...oh... but, I'll be okay after all |
