Captains Lyrics by Show of Hands

0

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
High above the earth
Hours before we land
Morning slowly breaks
And dawn is lifting

Only I'm awake
So gently in my hands
I trace a hundred lives
Through darkness drifting

In wings of steel
I will enfold you
My arms are strong
And I will hold you

[Verse 2]
Far out at sea
A hundred miles from shore
A storm begins to rise
And the tide is turning

Driving wind and rain
Will try my skill once more
Testing yet again
All my craft and learning

Oh my love, to calmer seas
I will steer you
And you'll be safe
When I am near you

[Bridge]
For we search on every side
For the compass and a guide
For someone with the atlas and a chart
Then we say: "Please
Be the captain of my heart
My heart"

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
We turn away from town
And steer towards the west
The rain beats on the road
And the sun is setting (setting, setting...)

You close your eyes
Soon you're sleeping
And as you dream
You're in my keeping

Oh, at last when you awake
And look around you
I have brought you back
And I have found you

Ooh, ooh...
