Farewell Captain Charlie
Great to get an email from Number One Music this morning advising me that Farewell Captain Charlie was in the #1 spot locally (Colorado), #158 Nationally, and #289 Globally. We had five songs in top ten local, top 300 national, and top 500 local. Merry Christmas to us and thank-you, those who request and play our music. Your support is the only marker that matters. Hope your Christmases went well. Good tidings in 2019!
Thanks to my talented sons, Tommy, for the guitar work and Zedidiah, for putting together the video for this song. I believe the three of us have been doing this together for thousands of years. https://youtu.be/tZjL5dWFxr0
Farewell Captain Charlie
Seems like we were talking and arguing away
when I walked out the door to see the sunny day
Vaguely I remember what it meant to kiss your lips
but then I’m sure you know how my memory slips
how my memory slips
Yes, I really loved you, more than I can tell
I followed you to heaven; we ended up in hell
There’s nothing more surprising than seven yesterdays
I’m thinking of tomorrow, all that I can say
oh, all that I can say
is farewell Captain Charlie
bright and sparkly eyes
patches on your blue jeans
a teardrop in the sky
a teardrop in the sky
Yes, farewell Captain Charlie
all good things must end
molded plastic kingdom
boys turn into men, boys turn into men
You’re beautiful today; I’ve never seen you cry
Saturday mornings weren’t meant for cold, cold goodbyes
Wouldn’t life be simple if everyone were you
We’d never have to wonder what to do or not to do
what to do or not to do
Monsters live in darkness, angels in the day
Captain Charlie’s always there to chase demons away
I know you can help me; we’ve all done this before
There’s a message on the wall, a red light at the door
oh, there’s a red light at the door
So farewell Captain Charlie
bright and sparkly eyes
patches on your blue jeans
a teardrop in the sky
a teardrop in the sky
Yes, farewell Captain Charlie
all good things must end
molded plastic kingdom
boys turn into men, boys turn into men
I’ve gone to live inside myself, there I’m gonna stay
deep inside my own creation, live my life away
I found her sort of living there, maybe she was dead
cold and still, warm inside, messing with my head
She was messing with my head
There she was, Captain Charlie, on his pillow there
That is how she went away, her fingers in his hair
Oh, Captain Charlie, I’ve protected you again
Don’t you know that we can never be what we have been
oh, be what we have been
So farewell Captain Charlie
bright and sparkly eyes
patches on your blue jeans
a teardrop in the sky
a teardrop in the sky
Yes, farewell Captain Charlie
all good things must end
molded plastic kingdom
boys turn into men, boys turn into men
