Closer to Home

Everybody listen to me

And return me my ship

I'm your captain

I'm your captain

Though I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now for days uncounted

And it's months since I've seen home

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Or am I all alone?

If you return me to my home port

I will kiss you Mother Earth

Take me back now

Take me back now

To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming?

Or are you really scheming

To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it

I just can't live without it

So please don't take my ship from me

I can feel the hand of a stranger

And it's tightening around my throat

Heaven help me

Heaven help me

Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain

I'm your captain

Though I'm feeling mighty sick

Everybody listen to me

And return me my ship

I'm your captain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm your captain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home

I'm getting closer to my home
