My wings are wet, I cannot fly
I raise them to the wind, but they won't dry
For love and not regret
Flow the tears I cry
I see you sail into silver
I walk a lonely shore, collecting scratches and dents
I stare o'er the briny deep, try to find some sense
I will sing your song ever and always in present tense
As you sail into silver
As you sail into silver
Oh, Captain (Captain)
My heart is scuttled and adrift
Oh, Captain (Captain)
I'm tempest-tossed and lost
And now the anchor line has slipped
No hand upon the helm
And I fear the main may rip
I do declare, sometimes I do not care to right this ship
But simply sail into silver
Simply sail into silver
ย
Why must all the white birds fade to black?
As I cry I hear their words, as they call back
Let go the line my love, our bond will never slack
As we sail into silver
As does your light
I will try to defy the grave
I will hold fast before the mast
Joyful and brave
I will turn to meet the bounding main
Wave by wave
As we sail into silver
And, oh, Captain (Captain)
My heart is scuttled and adrift
Oh, Captain (Captain)
I'm tempest-tossed and lost
And now the anchor line has slipped
No hand upon the helm
And I fear the main may rip
I do declare, sometimes I do not care to right this ship
But simply sail into silver
Simply sail into silver
