I was lost until you found me You're the reason for my today Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly Thanks to you I gladly say That if your goldmine comes up empty I'll be there to work the claim If you're a captain of a shipwreck I'll be first mate to your shame Trust in me to share your burden Stand by you where I belong When life brings the day uncertain I will soothe you with my song And if your goldmine comes up empty I'll be there to work the claim If you're a captain of a shipwreck I'll be first mate to your shame Fear no flood in stormy weather Fear no fire if winds arise Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever And forever, it never dies And if your goldmine comes up empty I'll be there to work the claim If you're a captain of a shipwreck I'll be first mate to your shame If you're a captain of a shipwreck You can find me up on the top deck You'll be captain of a shipwreck I'll be first mate to your shame.
