'e sits an' stares across the sea

As if lookin fer somethin'

Ah know not whut it be

But ever day ah come 'ere ta find

Agin thar 'e sits but the ol' man is blind

Whut compells 'im as 'e sits thar

Starin' off ta sea from 'is old wooden chair

 The loves 'e has known

The loves 'e has foun'

Though age creeps on slowly

Hearts fire can't be drowned

The mist a the ocean

The smell a the sea

An' somewhere out thar

'is destiny

Ah ventured one day ta spend jus' a few

A talkin' betwixt us jus' us two

'e talked a 'is darin

'e spoke a 'is crew

As ah listened intently

Naught else could ah do

Than 'e turned ta me as 'e spoke a love true

"She's out thar somewhere lad"

Ye know it be true

So if ah don' make it

Ye know whut ta do

DELIVER ME MESSAGE

Ah'm  a countin' on you

Tell 'er ah spent me whole life on this sea

Ta find 'er embrace

Ah know not where she be.......

Ah turned as ah heard a "Rufflin' " a sails

A MIGHTY ship sailin' straight up through the swells

Ah turned back ta notice the ol' man was pale

'is spirit had left 'im 

'e'd spun 'is last tale

But as ah turned back

Ah was held in AWES grip

Fer thar stood The Cap'n 

In 'er arms on the ship

As they sailed away

Ah knew it be true

Ah had the honor a knowin'

The GREAT Cap'n Who !

"May ye sail on a sea a love"

             ETERNALLY !

                   "The Cap'n"
