Captain I am sorry that this ship should go a stray
Letting the ocean have it’s own way
Lay me down to pass ?to send?, I’ll pay for all my sins
Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins

Times have changed, and my vision ain’t so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don’t feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me

In and out of tumor, and in and out of mind
Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide
Stormy seas surround me, no sails to keep me dry
I pray to you captain, but you heard not my cry

Times have changed, and my vision ain’t so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don’t feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me
For me, for my story
Let me lie in peace
I want to say I’m sorry now
Then I’ll be on my way
Then I’ll be on my way
Then I’ll be on my way
Times have changed, and my vision ain’t so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don’t feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me
