If I were the wind and you were the rain   That blows east to west that melts away this pain   If I were the sea and you were the sky   I could wash away those tears   And our hearts will fly   And the pirates and theivesmight bring you to your knees   But they'll never board your ship   You may have to sail through troubled seas   But the stars will always lead you   To the sun on the horizon   And you will feel life again   As the storm shows mercy on your sails      People my people   Captain my captain   Sail this emptyvessel away from here to calmer shores   People my people   Captain my captain   Sail this emptyvessel away from here to calmer shores      And the pirates and the buccaneers   Who fought you through the years    Now kneel and bow to you   They see a strength in you   And you will be their king   And the rest of the world will see   And want to follow them off with that weapon   The sword of mercy and truth      It's all so fearless now   Now the dust has settled down   It's time to say goodbye   To the lives I touched and left behind   But through this melody and rhyme   I'll find some confort here      On waters new we sail   Our eyes set on a new world   It's time to wave goodbye   Wiped from a memory   But so fair of face and heart of gold   My son my son
