Giving to you the words to sing
Do you remember me?
Giving to you the words to sing
Will you look out to sea?
Will you look out to see me?

I was a sailor on the ocean
And I was the captain of the sea
And I had the answers to your problems
And I cried glory reveille
I can't wait until we leave
I'll steer on my own
We won't be gone for long

I can't remember where we came from
And I can't fathom turning back
I'm so tired of all this rocking
And I have trouble reading maps
There's always something wrong
And who knows where we've gone
We've been away too long
The pirates stole our songs
