If I Were the Wind (and You Were the Rain)

If I were the wind and you were the rain

That blows from east to west that melts away this pain

If I were the sea and you were the sky

I could wash away those tears

And our hearts again would fly

And the pirates and the thieves might bring you to your knees

But they'll never board your ship

You may have to sail through troubled seas

But the stars will always lead you

To the sun on the horizon

And you will feel life again

As the storm shows mercy on your sails

People my people

Captain my captain

Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores

People my people

Captain my captain

Sail this empty vessel away from here to calmer shores

And the pirates and the buccaneers

Who fought you through the years

Now kneel and bow to you

They see a strength in you

And you will be their king

And the rest of the world will see

And want to follow right behind you

Because you fought them off with that weapon

The sword of mercy and truth

It's all so fearless now

Now the dust ha settled down

It's time to say goodbye

To the lives I touched and left behind

But through this melody and rhyme

I'll find some comfort here

On waters new we set sail

Our eyes set on a new world

It's time to wave goodbye

Wiped from your memory

But so fair of face and a heart of gold

My son my son
