An atmospheric slow song with no drums, but still very much alive! It’s a journey, a great closer for the album, and it grows after you’ve listened to it a few times.
Oh captain, you keep waiting for the sea to freeze
Oh captain, there’s no ice now on the seven seas
Keep sailing, searching for the thing you’ll never see
You’re waiting
Oh baby, what you doing with that camera?
They taught you all the science that you never learned
Oh captain, don’t you know what is eating us
You’re waiting
She’s waiting
Oh captain, there’s a mermaid in the periscope
Don’t let her take you from your work ‘cause she’s alone
Oh baby, there’s no ice now on the seven seas
She’s waiting
You’re waiting
She’s waiting
