Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
For Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Allie Fox and Phil Clark | |
He was a fugitive with a pseudo name | |
Lost his mind in a hurricane | |
Coconut upside his head | |
People said he'd be better dead | |
'Cause his glory days are gone | |
Sits on the shore with his saxophone | |
And plays | |
In another place, in another time | |
He was a soldier in his prime | |
On the battlefield, makin' history | |
Young men died for his destiny | |
And their widows came each day | |
'Til he was forced to run away | |
From home | |
So he bought a town, but he sold the sea | |
Claimed a shallow victory | |
On an iron ship, with a wooden crew | |
They hit the reef when the moon was new | |
Now he cries himself to sleep | |
On a beach made of promises he meant to keep | |
Long ago | |
Chorus: | |
Nobody speaks to the Captain no more | |
Nobody talks about the war | |
Hey what the hell were we fighting for | |
Such a long, long time ago | |
(trumpet / piccolo / saxophone instrumental) | |
And now the monkeys and the iguanas | |
They listen to his song | |
Most uncaptive audience | |
He plays to all night long | |
So the story goes, he was dressed to kill | |
When he jumped from the old mahogany mill | |
And the jungle beasts, they were heard to wail | |
As the saxophone still played the scale | |
For a man we never knew who looked like me and you | |
Long ago | |
Nobody speaks to the Captain no more | |
No one is interested in settling old scores | |
Hey what they hell were we fighting for | |
Such a long, long time ago | |
Nobody speaks to the Captain no more | |
No one is interested in settling old scores | |
Hey what they hell were we fighting for | |
Such a long, long time ago |
