CAPTAIN FOR A DAY

Bought this old boat, had nothing to lose

And proudly set off on my maiden cruise.

But my mobile signal started to fail.

Shortly after I began to set sail.

 

Then the crying sun whispers to a cloud

And the north wind hears and howls out loud

\"We\'ll make them wish they\'d never been born\"

\"Let\'s stir things up and cause a storm\"


Salt spray stings my eyes, as the wind grips my soul

So, I look for shelter beneath in the hull.

Soaked battered and bruised I hope things get better

Coz this tub was never built for stormy weather.


I knew this was a crazy thought

Now wishing I was back in port.

This beat up old boat is beginning to creek

And the storm\'s now almost at its peak.


Praying and hoping I\'ll somehow survive,

The turmoil is passing and I\'m still alive.

My hand grips the tiller as I head for home.

I think, never again will I sail alone

I dreamt of captaining my own sailing craft

But with no idea how, I was just being daft.
