Dedicated to Rolf Langsén "my captain" who passed away too early. Stef Sigfalk
Lyrics
Captain, My Captain Daybreak has lifted the foggy veil Sailors away May steady winds fill fast your sail All through the day And may good fortune never fail, I sing Captain, my captain may the tradewinds fill your sail Be mindful and present, enjoy every trip Day by day We'll all once sail another ship Oceans away One day the tightest knot will slip, good wind Captain, my captain on your new and distant ship For the old ocean my captain is bound Far, far away Where all our mates of past are found Hear what I say He'll turn that wooden wheel around, I cry Captain, my captain far too soon you're homeward bound There's always the sea there to venture upon Sun warms the day And someplace comfort when we're done Anchor's away But where's our strength to carry on, I cry Captain, my captain when the warming sun has gone Yes where's our strength to carry on, I cry Captain, my captain when the sun has gone
