Captain Harper works for the lighthouse And he doesn't know when to quit He stays at his post at the top O he sits and keeps his eyes open for ships Those eyes have turned as grey As the waves he watches all day He's feeling real tired The captain's hands have been shakier lately And twitching around for a week He hasn't shaved for something like three months His gruffness has only increased The feeling that he won't be There to help when someone's in need It's eating him up One day the captain decides to go down to The town a few miles from here There wasn't a voice or a reason to go It sorta just happened one day Captain Harper orders a coffee And sits in an old wooden chair He buys a book at a yard sale on Ash Street And happily pays for the fare The feeling that rolls like the tide That everyone that you pass by could be your friend It's eating him up The local barber fixes our captain Up with a clean-shaven face The lady waiting winks as he's leaving And he is left frozen in place It's been a good day Captain Harper returns to the lighthouse It's getting late, 10:00 He finds no shipwrecks left from his absence The ocean's been kind while he was gone Sometimes all he needs Is a little rest from the sea The smell of peace on the breeze Captain Harper's a good man indeed
