• Tonight I'm the captain of an empty ship.
    Sailing alone on this one way trip.
    Fighting back tears on on this dark night.
    It seems that I've begun to lose the fight.

    I'm not sure where my heart is leading me.
    All I know is where it wants to be.
    Back on land standing next to you.
    But now it manages a one man crew.

    When sailing through all the wind and rain.
    It takes my mind away from all the pain.
    But when it's calm and I stare into the blue.
    The only thing I can think of is you.

    Some nights I dream that I have found land.
    And you're waiting there holding out your hand.
    But when I awake and look out to the sea.
    It's only the ocean staring back at me.

    The crew is weary, the captain's tired too.
    He's finally realized he can't go back for you.
    Now he just moves on trying to get away.
    But not giving up hope on finding land someday.

    Tonight I'm the captain of an empty ship.
    Sailing alone on this one way trip.
