The Captain (from Behind the Barricades DVD) Songtext
von Kasey Chambers

Well I don′t have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I′ve kicked myself at times because I've lied
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell ′em I won′t be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the captain and I′ll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low, just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you′re the captain, I am no-one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you, to you


Well I have handed all my efforts in
I searched here for my second wind
Is there someone here to let me in? I asked
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last

You be the captain and I′ll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low, just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you're the captain, I am no-one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you, to you

Did I forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn′t tried I tend to runaway and hide

You be the captain and I′ll be no-one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low, just like your father
And if I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you′re the captain, I am no-one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you


You're the captain, I am no-one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you, to you
You′re the captain and I am no-one
And I owe one to you
