Shadow Captain

Oh, captain what are we hiding from?
 You've been hiding from the start
 Did some lover steal your heart
 Or did the full moon make you mad?
 Oh, captain why these speechless seas
 That never come to land?
 Oh, I need to understand
 Could a little light be that bad?
 ♪
 I can see your hands are roughened
 By the wheel and the rope
 I'd like to look to you for hope
 I think it's hiding there
 This boat is blacked out like a city
 Awaiting bombers in the night
 Oh, you hold your helm so tight
 And yet the sky seems so fair
 Who guides this ship
 Dreaming through the seas
 Turning and searching
 Whichever way you please?
 Speak to me
 I need to see your face
 Shadowy captain
 In a darkened space
 ♪
 If I were to spy a city
 Floating just above the sea
 Could we stop and look for me
 Among those playing on the pier?
 Or would you turn away knowing
 It was still a ways away
 And if I was there today
 You could not see me all that clear
 Who guides this ship
 Dreaming through the seas
 Turning and searching
 Whichever way you please?
 Speak to me
 I need to see your face
