Oh My Captain

Oh my captain, Oh my captain
I've been working hard for you
Trying to make you love me too
Doing all that I can do for my captain

Oh my captain, open your eyes
See the rebel on the stairs
And all the roamers everywhere
And how it seems that no one cares for my captain

Tell me now what is going on
See the ground that I'm standing on
How it crumbles at my feet
As we dance you remind me

Oh my captain, Oh my captain
I've remembered every song
And now I've learned to sing them all
Still I wonder what is wrong with my captain

Oh my captain, hold on to me
Tell me why you let me go
And why the anchor man needs rope
Already half way off the boat for my captain

Tell me now what is going on
See the tower that I'm calling from
How it shakes beneath my feet
As we fall you remind me

Tell me now what is going on
See the tower that I'm falling from
How it breaks beneath my feet
As we fly you remind me

Oh my captain, Oh my captain
Now it's time for me to part
To rip the needle from my heart
We were so wrong from the start oh my captain
