Captains

In the stillness of the morning
On the docks along the bay
The smell of bait fish, the sound of tackle
Welcomes the day
As the Captains greet new faces
The deck hands smile and yawn
Passengers are unaware
They were up way before the dawn
Captains steer their boats
Towards the morning sun
Working hard each day
So the passengers have fun
It’s not an easy life they’re living
But they’re living a life of ease
Doing what most will never do
Captains live their dream
When they were young
They took up fishing
To mentally escape
A constant world of hustle
Was soon left in their wake
They dreamed of growing older
And a big boat of their own
Going fishing everyday
And to call the ocean home
Captains steer their boats
Towards the morning sun
Working hard each day
So the passengers have fun
It’s not an easy life they’re living
But they’re living a life of ease
Doing what most will never do
Captains live their dream
Instrumental
In the stillness of the evening
There’s a flickering of lights
From boats all cleaned and ready
To welcome the night
Captains toast each other
With feet propped on the rails
Each day’s another chapter
In an endless fishing tale
Captains steer their boats
Towards the morning sun
Working hard each day
So the passengers have fun
It’s not an easy life they’re living
But they’re living a life of ease
Doing what most will never do
Captains live their dream
