The Captain

He's still out there the stars can see More than memories what's yet to be Your melancholy turned to muse No, not forsaken there's still a fuse Ignite the flame and fan belief Between the lines beyond the grief A lonely sailor just off your shore He has returned heart aches for more And more and more and more He aches for more More of you! ~Lyric Man Note: This is a song about possibilities, even when hope is gone. Maybe just beyond where you can see there still abides a love that's true. A love that hasn't forgotten. A love that's trying to make its way back to you. Is there more than melancholy memories?

This is a good one. My husband and I are going on a trip. We are going to do the great Loop. Which is a boat trip in the intercoastal waterways of the United States of America eastern part up, going through New York, to Chicago and back down the Mississippi River to where we live in Florida. My husband has been a Captain for years. He is known as Captain Bly. We are doing it together so neither of has to be alone. I am the island girl who gets to go with her man. Great lyric.
