lyrics  (or you can return to the main lord eric page)

Capitan, Capitan

I'd call you but you're not home
Certain you're not alone
And that you're not thinking of me
I won't do anything
Just sit and feel the sting
I can't be other than ugly to you
You can't be other than lovely

But you turned away
I was everything you needed
Now I am nothing more
And I can't be sure what you're doing tonight

Capitan, capitan
Won't you turn this boat around and bring me home
I was wrong, I was wrong
I would never really want to know that she's moving on
Moving on

I reached out with all my heart
You said don't even start
I could not know what you're thinking
So starve the addiction and feed myself fiction
And not let down guard on the chink in my might
Maybe it's time to start drinking

You turned away
You was everything I needed
Now you is not around
I'm miles from the ground and I'm sinking tonight

And if I said she's already gone
I won't hear you, I won't hear you
I don't hear you, I don't hear you
And if I said she's found someone
I don't hear you, I don't hear you
I won't hear you, I'll pick up and run away

And mile after mile I choose this denial
The end of the trial seems further and further away
