The Captain

Kasey Chambers

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
