Jericho Harp - If I Were a Captain lyrics



If I were a captain and I had my own ship
I’d sail on blue waters, every trip
‘cause I’ve had my share of stormy seas,
filled with fright on a lonely night
down on my knees.

If I were the keeper of the keys to my soul
I would unlock it, and show you the hole
but anger has torn there and fear open wide,
James, he says, that a man can run
but he sure can not hide.

-Reach out your hand and help me to rise
you can see I need you by the look in my eyes
after all this time it comes as little surprise,
I can reach the lows,
but I need help with the highs.-

Up in Minnesota there’s a house in the pines
far from the freeways and the telephone lines,
I was born where my father has died,
and he calls to me,
says you’ll never be free if you never have tried.

-Reach out your hand and help me to rise
you can see I need you by the look in my eyes
after all this time it comes as little surprise,
I can reach the lows,
but I need help with the highs.-

Well I guess I’ve tried some, in my own lazy way
but the words come too easy when there’s nothing to say,
the more I deny it the more it is true,
when you can’t go under and you can’t go around
and you’ve got to go through.

-Reach out your hand and help me to rise
you can see I need you by the look in my eyes
after all this time it comes as little surprise,
I can reach the lows,
but I need help with the highs.-

-repeat chorus-
