1975
3
I never used to miss the chance
4
To climb upon his knee
5
Listen to the many tales
6
Of life upon the sea
7
We'd go sailin' back on barkentines
8
An' talk of things he did
9
Tomorrow just a day away
10
For the captain and the kid
11
His world had gone from sailin' ships
12
To rakin' mom's backyard
13
He never could adjust to land
14
Although he tried so hard
15
We both were growin' older then
16
Wiser with our years
17
That's when I came to understand
18
The course his heart still steered
19
He died about a month ago
20
While winter filled the air
21
And though I cried I was so proud
22
To love a man so rare
23
He's somewhere on the ocean now
24
A place he outta be
25
With one hand on the starboard rail
26
He's wavin' back at me
27
I never used to miss the chance
28
To climb upon his knee
29
Listen to his many tales
30
Of life upon the sea
31
We'd go sailin' back on barkentines
32
Talk of things he did
33
The world was just a day away
34
For the captain and the kid
35
For the captain
36
And this kid
