Closer To Home

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 ll 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


(Riff 1 Twice)

(Main Riff 4 Times)



I can feel the hand of a stranger

As 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
