I was lost before you found me
You're the reason I'm here today
Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly
And thanks to you I found my way

And if your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're 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

If your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame

Fear no flood in stormy weather
Fear no fire if winds arise
I'm flesh and blood, but I'm yours forever
And forever, it never dies

If your goldmine comes up empty
I'll be there to work the claim
If you're captain of a shipwreck
I'll be up on the top deck
You'll be captain of a shipwreck
I'll be first mate to your shame.
You'll be captain of a shipwreck,darling
But, I'll be first mate to your shame.
