The Captain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sailors running for the sea
We'll find our feet down another stream
Here we go
Straight back in the hull
Pirates are getting in for free
And feed the dreams, the love of their machines
It's so real
And with a wooden heart of steel
Hey dude, don't be so frightened of your bleeding heart
I would not let you die again
And now you're washed up on a friendly shore
Where no one seems to care no more
If you've lost all hope that you're ever gonna cope
With the waves crashing in your brain
The captain is waiting for the birds
We'll find our lost in what leads the two of us two halves
We'll never fasten the rope
Hey dude, don't be so frightened of the open sea
I would not let you drown
Hey dude, don't be so fightened of your bleeding heart
I would not let you die again
