lyrics
The captain and his son sailed away
They pushed off the dock on the fifth day of May
Determined to set a new course
Led by the stars and a compass under moonlight
Then they sing:
“This is the way we were raised
Tug on the cables to straighten the sails
We’re determined to find our own way
Even if it takes us to the last day of May”
The captain spoke:
“Have you ever wanted to die?
These things I’ve known my son once or twice
There are methods of navigation through life
Please let me give you the best of advice
It takes steadfast endurance through the storm
Keep a candle and a compass always aboard
Look up to the stars every night
Always remember you’re somebody’s child, yes you’re mine”
The captain then lit up his pipe
Put a hand over brow and gazed towards the skyline
Where a pilot then struggled in flight
Too close to a mountain directly in sight
Then the captain spoke:
“You see that plane starboard thirty degrees
That’s a man lost as you’ll ever see
That’s a man lost as I think I’ve ever seen
Promise my son you will stay on the sea”
