Dearest Captain your ship has sailed without you
Did you mean it to or have your crew abandoned you?
If you'll have me I'll be yours forever
As your shipmate, your lover, whatever you want me to be

And I'll always be by your side
For as long as you want me to
And this one thing that I swear to you
I'll always be gentle and true

Dearest Captain why do you show me a shoulder?
Is there something that you wish you say to me?
Your silence has become my misfortune
And I don't think I can wait anymore

I don't care that you have a wife
I don't care that you have a child
I cherish the thought of you being mine
To sail off in that horizon

Dearest Captain your ship has sailed without me
And now I'm here left all alone on the shore

I know that you would have gotten old
Yes, I know that you would have gotten bored
But I never thought you would leave me
Without a vessel to carry me home
