Captains Lyrics

High above the earth
hours before we land morning slowly breaks
and dawn is lifting
the only one awake so gentle in my hands
I trace a hundred lights through darkness drifting

I will bring you back
I will hold you
my arms are strong they will enfold you

far out at sea
a hundred miles from shore
a storm begins to rise and the tide is turning
driving wind and rain to try my skill once more
testing yet again all my craft and leaning
oh my love to calmer seas, I will steer you and you'l be safe when I am near you

for we search on every side
for a compass and a guide
someone with an atlas and a chart
oh we say please be the captain of my heart
my heart

we turn away from town
and steer towards the west
the rain beats on the roof as the sun is setting
you close your eyes and you are sleeping
and as you dream your in my keeping
at last when you awake and look around you
I have brought you back and I have found you
