lyrics

They saw a ghost out on the water / It couldn't reach us / We were on the coast when we saw her / We couldn't speak up

We all know damn well / When the tide starts to swell / We don't go back to sea

They taste the salt / They feel the ship / They taste the cigarette on her lips / They find their faults below their hips / And they are struggling to keep them in

CHORUS

Oh captain, my captain / You are the sea / If your stormy waves won't take the likes of me / I'll take my leave
