The Captain's Wife

(album: Mix Tape - 2009)

Look at the woman, she's the belle of the ball
Swimming 'round in her alochol
Just like an actress on a movie screen
She's a phantom in a dream

She always likes a drink or two
To pick her up when she's feeling blue
Oh, I, I think I'm falling in love
With the Captain's wife

Look at the captain on the party boat
He got medals on his coat
I'm just a gunner in your aeroplane
I got nothing but a name

He always likes a drink or two
A pick-me-up when he's feeling blue
Oh, I, I think I'm falling in love
With the Captain's wife

Look at the moon, it's terribly sad
All exposed and
Look at my shadow, long and tall
Like a puppet on a wall

I always like a drink or two
To pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Oh, I, I think I'm falling in love
With the Captain's wife
