Lyrics

The Captain

[Verse 1]

Coming home after a long, long walk

Coming home after a dozen of walks

Coming home after a long, long war

Coming home after a dozen of wars

[Chorus]

We are out of wind

We have pockmarked chin

We have lots of water

We turn the other cheek and we win

[Verse 2]

One thousand stories and there's always more

We've been offered one more lap to go

In my hand, I hold a key

It's dear to me 'cause I know where it leads

[Chorus]

We are out of wind

We have pockmarked chin

We have all this water

We turn the other cheek with a grin
