From the Valley · Album · 2018

Captain in the Sand

Walkin' through the door, fallin' to the floor
I get the feelin' I don't live here no more
There's a settin' sun, in my humble home
My achy old hands, they don't stand a chance
No I can't help it I don't know this dance
Where do I go with my haggard soul
Where do I go with my haggard soul

It feels like

I'm in chains in the desertland of Arizona
Just waitin' for the seagulls' song
I'm lost in the wastelands of Oklahoma
Just waitin' for a wave to come
I am the captain in the sand
I'm dreamin' of a life far away from land

The memories of old, they're framed in gold
Only remindin' me of what went wrong
I was blind in a young man's mind
Warnin' in the mail, I know I gotta bail
But those rusty old nails been rippin' holes in my sail
Now I see, but now I'm on my knees
Now I see, but now I'm on my knees

I'm in chains in the desertland of Arizona
Just waitin' for the seagulls' song
I'm lost in the wastelands of Oklahoma
Just waitin' for a wave to come
I am the captain in the sand
I'm dreamin' of a life far away from land

Hey you, the one with no shadow
Won't you lend me a hand
For how long, have you been around here
Are you, all in my head?
'Cause it still feels like

I'm in chains in the desertland of Arizona
Just waitin' for the seagulls' song
I'm lost in the wastelands of Oklahoma
Just waitin' for a wave to come
I am the captain in the sand
I'm dreamin' of a life far away from land
