The Captain Left the Crew
He laid his brass keys by the chart And folded up the weathered map The crew stood quiet by the rail As if the tide might call him back He said, “The course is yours from here” Then turned before we found the words The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door No hand came back to take the wheel No answer crossed the open blue The ship stayed fastened to the pier But every heart sailed out with you His cabin lamp was dark by dawn His chair still faced the eastern bay A cup of tea went cold beside The logbook where he’d signed away We split the watches, learned the ropes And read the sky without his voice The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door No hand came back to take the wheel No answer crossed the open blue The ship stayed fastened to the pier But every heart sailed out with you Maybe some roads end at the water Maybe some goodbyes have no sound We kept his compass in the galley And faced the morning, bound for ground The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door We took the watch, we raised the line And found a heading we could trust The ship stayed fastened to the pier But we learned to sail without us His brass keys rest beside the chart The tide keeps moving, as before

Текст песни
[Куплет 1] He laid his brass keys by the chart And folded up the weathered map The crew stood quiet by the rail As if the tide might call him back [Предприпев] He said, “The course is yours from here” Then turned before we found the words [Припев] The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door No hand came back to take the wheel No answer crossed the open blue The ship stayed fastened to the pier But every heart sailed out with you [Куплет 2] His cabin lamp was dark by dawn His chair still faced the eastern bay A cup of tea went cold beside The logbook where he’d signed away [Предприпев] We split the watches, learned the ropes And read the sky without his voice [Припев] The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door No hand came back to take the wheel No answer crossed the open blue The ship stayed fastened to the pier But every heart sailed out with you [Бридж] Maybe some roads end at the water Maybe some goodbyes have no sound We kept his compass in the galley And faced the morning, bound for ground [Финальный припев] The captain left the crew behind And walked alone down to the shore We watched his coat fade past the mist While waves kept knocking at the door We took the watch, we raised the line And found a heading we could trust The ship stayed fastened to the pier But we learned to sail without us [Аутро] His brass keys rest beside the chart The tide keeps moving, as before
