Woody and Paul

Captain Of My Ship

First she broke my heart
Now she makes my day
All important things in life
Swiftly fly away

Today could be your birthday
Hooray, a pound of gold!

Just keep it safe and hidden
Untill your days get old

You won't be needing any luggage mister

This will be your final trip

He will take you to the rising tide

The Captain of your ship

This place is full of idiots
Or idiots build this place
Someone must be messing with
The entire human race
Rich men are weeping

The poor ones seem to laugh

I could fill a swimmingpool

With all the tears I have

Right now a little robin jumps from a fence

And lands upon her lips

I wonder what my captain would do

The Captain of my ship

The whole wide world is wondering
When we all will leave
So al the pretty animals
Can live the life they need
Plastic bags, look like birds
And birds look like bags
Last night I met my father
Even he was dressed in rags
He said: "He buddy how're you doing?
I said: "Like we always did"
He said:"Let's spin us some ol' black circle from
The Captain of our ship"

This tune may sound familiar
People still use wheels
On the road to nowhere 

You can hear them tires squeal
The world has seven wonders 

As the travellers always tell

Some gardens and some towers

Guess you know them well
But now the greatest wonder

Is in Uncle Sam's fair land

He sings his way up to eternity

It's Robert Zimmerman
