Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Though I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now, days uncounted,
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone

If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
So, please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat
Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
Ohhhh

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
Repeated to fade
