Текст песни: Doobie Brothers. The Captain And Me. The Captain & Me.

Deep as a river wide, as the sea,
changin' the ways of a captain and me.
I could be happy, Lord, so then should he
if all of the universe unveiled itself me.

So then a day flows into night,
down the street the beggar man who finds himself in wine.
If I am a good man, and sure in all my ways,
the captain of a starship that's homeward bound today.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
Marking time all through the day.

A whisper, an answer, a cry in the night,
break down, turn around, a feeling of fright.
The Indian, the Black Man, the Asian who see,
a door that is opening and they're goin' to be free.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
marking time all through the day.

We are all acceptable, we are all a place in time
Moving through a passageway,
bringing forth the end of time.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
well, I'm changin', I'm changin' ev 'y day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways,
oh, baby, all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
marking time all through the day.
Light the fire, start the day,
mark the light that shows the way;
Changing times of fortunes past,
We will all be free at last.

We are the people of the 'round about,
we are the sails upon the sea.
We're gonna be there when ev-'rybody laughs about
the way that we are changin, you and me.

We are the people of the 'round about,
we are the sails upon the sea.
We're gonna be there when ev-'rybody laughs about
the way that we are changin, you and me.

We are the people of the 'round about, we are the sails upon the sea.

Do do_do do_do do_do do_do do,
do do_do do_do do_do do_do.

Do do_do do_do do_do do_do do,
do do_do do_do do_do do_do
