Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More (Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:01]
Written by:Jimmy Buffe[00:00:05]
He was a fugitive with a pseudo name[00:00:23]
Lost his mind in a hurricane[00:00:30]
Coconut upside his head[00:00:34]
People said he'd be better dead[00:00:40]
Cause his glory days are gone[00:00:43]
Sits on the shore with his saxophone[00:00:49]
And plays[00:00:53]
In another place in another time[00:00:59]
He was a soldier in his prime[00:01:04]
On the battlefield making history[00:01:09]
Young men died for his destiny[00:01:14]
And their widows came each day[00:01:18]
Till he was forced to run away[00:01:23]
From home[00:01:28]
So he bought a town but he sold the sea[00:01:34]
Claimed a shallow victory[00:01:40]
On an iron ship with a wooden crew[00:01:44]
They hit the reef when the moon was new[00:01:50]
Now he cries himself to sleep[00:01:53]
On a beach made of promises he meant to keep[00:01:58]
Long ago[00:02:03]
Nobody speaks to the captain no more[00:02:10]
Nobody talks about the war[00:02:15]
Hey what the hell were we fighting for[00:02:20]
Such a long long time ago[00:02:24]
And now the monkeys and the iguanas[00:03:07]
They listen to his song[00:03:13]
A most captive audience[00:03:18]
He plays to all night long[00:03:22]
So the story goes he was dressed to kill[00:03:29]
When he jumped from the old mahogany mill[00:03:34]
And the jungle beasts they were heard to wail[00:03:40]
Like saxophone still played the scale[00:03:44]
For a man they never know[00:03:49]
Who looked like me and you[00:03:55]
Long ago[00:03:59]
Nobody speaks to the captain no more[00:04:05]
No one is interested in settling old scores[00:04:10]
Hey what the hell were we fighting for[00:04:15]
Such a long long time ago[00:04:20]
Nobody speaks to the captain no more[00:04:28]
No one is interested in settling old scores[00:04:33]
Hey what the hell were we fighting for[00:04:38]
Such a long long time[00:04:42]
Ago[00:04:50]
