When the waves hit the deck, I will stick out my neck
And I'll try to be your captain
When the mites eat the mast and the sky's overcast
I'll try to be your captain
When the nights are all long and you're sleeping alone
When your compass is gone and everything's wrong
I'll try to be your captain
Chorus:
There's not much I can do
But I hold this door for you
If it keeps your hope alive
If it helps in this fight
There's not much I can say
But I'll speak anyway
To reach that part of you
That might help make it through
When we lose sight of the ship I will tighten my grip
And I'll try to be your captain
When the water gets cold, you'll have someone to hold
And I'll try to be your captain
When there's no here or there as we run out of air
When everything's black and there's no turning back
I'll try to be your captain
Ending
Watch the waves overtake you as I pray for a breakthrough
I'll sink like the Bismarck for you
A small sense of alarm as I reach for your arm
I'll sink like the Bismarck for you
Watch the surface above me as I hold your hand
I'm sinking like the Wilhelm Gustloff for you
Like you'd sink to the algae for me, like you'd sink to the algae for me
