Captain Off the Helm Lyrics

I chose not to threaten

But you believe in heaven

Asked me to take you there

I'll take you there

Moon breaks between the clouds

On the way back down

Two leaves they collide

Like two ships in the night

Captain off the helm

Captain with no sail

Shrinking at the port

He's drunk and telling tales

And I've heard them once before

The tales now grow and grow

The Captain's eyes are sinking

Like his crew did down below

And there is no use in heaven without you

Give my spot to someone else

I'm going down to Hell

I'm gonna meet the Devil

And I'm sure I'll see you there

My cousin was a climber

He climbed the highest peak

He started on a Sunday

And he came back on his knees

Tears were in his face

He was all alone

His brother cut the rope

He said, Brother take my place

His Brother had no children

At least he'll never know

My Cousin's climbs are over

He's drunk and telling tales

And I've heard them once before

The tales now grow and grow

My Cousin's eyes are sinking

Like his Brother down below

And there is no use in heaven without you

Give my spot to someone else

I'm going down to Hell

I'm gonna meet the Devil

And I'm sure I'll see you there

Captain off the helm

Captain with no sail

A Captain with no flag

He'll see that boat in Hell

A Climber off a mountain

A Climber with no reason

A Climber on repel

He'll see that peak in Hell

And there is no use in heaven without you

Give my spot to someone else

I'm going down to Hell

I'm gonna meet the Devil

And I'm sure I'll see you there
