The Captain Lyrics by Ali Barter

A Suitable Girl

2017

Well, I heard about
The hounds and the horses around you
That tear all the land, yeah they run through
Looking for their man and they found you

You're the captain
You're sitting there on top of your mountain
You're looking out and baby, you're wondering
Why nobody else is running

How's the quiet treat you now?
You say it's in the name of love
Well, I hope it all works out

Well, I heard kid
That you walk with a limp and you're smoking
You won't get very far when you're broken
Better keep those cards that you're holding

Lonely captain
You're waiting there on top of your mountain
You're looking down and baby it's thundering
Come on, you better start run, run, run, run, run, running

How's the quiet treat you now?
You say it's in the name of love
Well, I hope it all works out

How's the quiet treat you now?
You can say it's in the name of love
Well, I hope it all works out

How's the quiet treat you now?
You say it's in the name of love
Well, I hope it all works out

How's the quiet treat you now?
You can say it's in the name of love
Well, I hope it all works out
