Owen Duff: Music

Any captain worth his due

(Owen Duff)
Once I struggled through
What you showed me how to do
You ring a bell inside my head
Like it’s Friday hometime
Bringing to the table whatever you are able
Come a new Babel then baby we’ll fight

Now the streets
They may beat my bow in
The city may rip at my sails
Oh but any captain worth his due
Knows with a crew like you
He’s on a voyage that cannot fail

Running through the sidestreets
I stop to feel your heartbeat
I’ve got to make sure that you’re here
That you’re real alright
Lover I won’t let go
You’re a streetlight in the ghetto
Keep that halo oh angel don’t change

Now the streets
They may beat my bow in
The city may rip at my sails
Oh but any captain worth his due
Knows with a crew like you
He’s on a voyage
He’s on a voyage
He’s on a voyage that cannot fail

Ooh I was weak
Beat
Headed for the deep
When your light cleared the smog in a gale
Now this captain knows that thanks are due
Because he’s been rescued
We’re on a voyage
We’re on a voyage
We’re on a mission
That cannot fail

(With love we’ll speak in one language and understand
With love our words will never cause sorrow and
Oh, we’re on a voyage)
