The Captain And The Kid Lyrics

	Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett
	I never use to miss the chance
	to climb upon his knee and listen
	to those many tales of life upon the sea.
	We'd go sailing back on barkentines and
	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,
	the place 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 those many tales of life upon the sea.
	We'd go sailing back on barkentines and
	talk of things he did, the world was just a
	day away for the Captain and the Kid.
	For the Captain and this kid.

	We' d go sailing back on barkentines and
	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

	that' s when I came to understand
