Erich Harant - The Captain's Journey Lyrics

I've reached the end of this lonesome life
Bye bye mates farewell
And with these words the Captain left
His grief stricken men called out:

Captain what have we done wrong
Captain we will miss you so
Come on be one of us again
We'll sail the seas again your place is here
It's where you belong
Don't cut the cord that binds
But the Captain wouldn't hear

Save your soul Captain save your soul my man
So save your soul Captain save your soul my man

Evening sun was setting the Captain rowed
Through smooth sparkling waves
When he met his maid of the sea
And his heart called out for her:

Mermaid of my love
I've forsaken all else
Our time has come at last
I'll be your man your man for all time
Bestow your gifts on me

Dreamer of the ocean if you want me to have
You must give me all you are
Then I will be your dream forever and your soul a part of mine

Wow babe even though you look hot
This soul I will not let you have

And turning away the Captain left
The mermaid though scorned just laughed and said:

Captain have you lost your mind
You forsake again those who love you
I guess there's nothing now to make you stay
You've coursed your loyal family
Rejected all you've touched and known
You never rest and never reach your home
But the Captain couldn't hear

Save your soul Captain save your soul my man
So Save your soul poor man save your soul
