Closer To Home lyrics

I`m Your Captain
Grand Funk Railroad
Mark Farner

The tune that is remembered as `Closer To Home`, is actually labeled `I`m
Your Captain` on both the album sleeve and record label. It is from the
album `Closer To Home`, released by Grand Funk Railroad in June of 1970.

Everybody,
listen to me,
and return me, my ship.
I`m your captain, I`m your captain,
though I`m feeling mighty sick.
I`ve been lost now,
days uncounted,
and it`s months since,
I`ve seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
or am I all alone?
If you return me,
to my home port,
I will kiss you,
mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
to the port, of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming,
or are you really scheming,
to take my ship away from me.
You`d better think about it,
I jsut can`t live without it,
so please don`t take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can feel the hand,
of a stranger,
and it tightening,
around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
take this stranger, from my boat.
I`m your captain, I`m your captain,
though I`m feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
and return me, my ship,
I`m your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`m your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`m your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I`m your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I`m getting closer to my home.
I`m getting closer to my home.
