Shadow Captain Lyrics - Greatest Hits [original Recording Remastered] - Crosby Stills Nash

Oh, captain what are we hiding from? 

You've been hiding from the start 

Did some lover steal your heart 

Or did the full moon make you mad? 

Oh, captain why these speechless seas 

That never come to land? 

Oh, I need to understand 

Could a little light be that bad? 

[Instrumental (Piano)] 

I can see your hands are roughened 

By the wheel and the rope 

I'd like to look to you for hope 

I think it's hiding there

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

This boat is blacked out like a city 

Awaiting bombers in the night 

Oh, you hold your helm so tight 

And yet the sky seems so fair 

Who guides this ship 

Dreaming through the seas 

Turning and searching 

Whichever way you please? 

Speak to me 

I need to see your face 

Shadowy captain 

In a darkened space 

[Instrumental (Piano)] 

If I were to spy a city 

Floating just above the sea 

Could we stop and look for me 

Among those playing on the pier? 

Or would you turn away knowing 

It was still a ways away 

And if I was there today 

You could not see me all that clear 

Who guides this ship 

Dreaming through the seas 

Turning and searching 

Whichever way you please? 

Speak to me 

I need to see your face 

Shadowy captain 

In a darkened space 

[Instrumental (Piano)] 

Shadow captain of a charcoal ship 

Shadow captain of a charcoal ship 

Trying to give the light the slip 

[Ending (Piano)]
