Title: Captain Of A Shipwreck (Alternate Take)

-------------------------

I was lost before you found me

You're the reason I'm here today

Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly

And thanks to you I found my way

And if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

Trust in me to share your burden

Stand by you where I belong

When life brings the day uncertain

I will soothe you with my song

If your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

Fear no flood in stormy weather

Fear no fire if winds arise

I'm flesh and blood, but I'm yours forever

And forever, it never dies

If your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're captain of a shipwreck

I'll be up on the top deck

You'll be captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame.

You'll be captain of a shipwreck,darling

But, I'll be first mate to your shame.
