The Captain (Original Demo)

from The Captain's Treasure by Laura Scarborough

/

about

"The Captain" was originally written for an Austin songwriter challenge where we all had to use the phrase "underwater void" in the lyric somewhere.

This is the original home demo recording submitted for the challenge.

I thought I'd include this "freebie" in The Captain Treasure to show how a song can originate and develop. 🎁

lyrics

Hey yo, said the captain
Hey yo, said the sea
You sail every direction
and still stay close to me.

Hey yo, said the captain
Hey yo, said the ship
You ride with my protection
don’t you forget.

The ocean will bring you home.

He yo, said the captain
Hey yo, said the time
If you forgive and you listen
you’ll stop asking why,

The ocean will bring you home.

The storm will come,
Your boat may overturn,
You’ll swim into the underwater void,
It'll drown out all the noise,

Hey yo Hey yo.
Hey yo, said the captain
Hey yo, said the ghost
You dream of me often because
I loved you the most.

The ocean will bring you home

The storm will come,
Your boat may overturn,
You’ll swim into the underwater void,
It'll drown out all the noise,
Hey yo Hey yo.

The ocean will bring you home
