Captain Harmony

Captain Harmony
By Jimmy Rankin

See the lines of age and face of gold
Watch the sailing boats go by
Hanging on to every tale you told
Cast the sunlight in your eyes

Hear the breakers crash on a broken reef
Mother nature’s lovely scene
For all her goodness and all her grief
We’re all somewhere in between

Back in 1951
Captain harmony
Captain harmony
Gonna miss you when you’re gone

Now the hour has come for me to fade
Hear the rusty sea bells chang
Gonna leave you with this song I made
Wanna thank you for your time

Captain harmony
Captain harmony
Swagger when you walk
Captain harmony
Captain harmony
Really dig the way you talk
As we shuffle ’round this mortal coil
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
You know it all comes down to sea and soil
Said the Captain harmony to me

Captain harmony
Captain harmony
The amazing things you’ve done
Captain harmony
Captain harmony
Back in 1951
Gonna miss you when you’re gone
