I never use to miss the chance To climb upon his knee And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea We'd go sailing back on barkentines We talk of things he did Tomorrow just a day away for the captain and the kid His world had gone from sailing ships To raking mom's back yard He never could adjust to land Although He tried so hard We both were growing older then And Wiser with our years That's when I came to understand The course his heart still steers He died about a month ago While winter filled the air And though I cried, I was so proud To love a man so rare He's somewhere on the ocean now That's where he ought to be With one hand on the starboard rail He's waving back at me I never use to miss the chance To climb upon his knee And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea We'd go sailing back on barkentines We talk of things he did The world was just a day away for the captain and the kid For the captain and this kid
