lyrics

I belong to the open water
To the open water I belong
Heard of a man walked upon water
But I’m not in possession of feet that strong
To bear my weight upon the waves
That I created in better days

I set out a ruined minor
From Ruan Minor I set out
Out in a launch with a drunken sailor
I lost my nerve and turned about
Upon the decks the albatross,
around my neck, they slung a cross - bow

And in his absence I will be your captain
Bring me the great unwashed and washed up greats, for I will be your captain
Call up the bravest of the waiverers

On the shore with an eye to the water
On the water with an eye to shore
Mariner, marinate, second mate sober
I’m the wreck in the bottle beside the door

And in the meantime I will be your captain
And in these mean times...
