The Captain

Kasey Chambers The Captain Album

2.The Captain

Well i don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as i was
I've kicked myself at times because i've lied
So i will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell 'em i won't be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the captain
And i'll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
'cos you're the captain, i am no-one,
I tend to feel as though i owe one to you

Well i have handed all my efforts in
I searched here for my second wind
Is there somewhere here to let me in i asked
So i slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place i'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last

Did i forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn't tried i tend to runaway and hide
