Songtext von Shadow Captain

Oh, captain, what are we hiding from? You've been hiding from the start Did some lover steal your heart Or did the full Moon make you mad? Oh, captain, why these speechless seas That never come to land? Oh I need to understand Could a little light be that bad? I can see your hands are roughened By the wheel and the rope I'd like to look to you for hope I think it's hiding there This boat is blacked out like a city Awaiting bombers in the night Oh you hold your helm so tight And yet the sky seems so fair Who guides this ship Dreaming through the seas Turning and searching Whichever way you please? Speak to me, I need to see your face Shadowy captain, in a darkened space If I were to spy a city Floating just above the sea Could we stop And look for me Among those playing on the pier? Or would you turn away knowing It was still a ways away And if I was there today You could not see me all that clear Who guides this ship Dreaming through the seas Turning and searching Whichever way you please? Speak to me, I need to see your face Shadowy captain, in a darkened space Shadowy captain of a charcoal ship Trying to give the light the slip
