O Captain, My Captain

January 2, 2015

O my captain

Save me from myself.

I stand on a desk to say goodbye,

Not to you, but to me.

O captain

You cannot save me this time

I have learned a thousand ways to say goodbye

This time it is I.

O captain my captain

I know you feel the same

I'm sorry captain I cannot stay

Maybe one day, out at sea,

We will meet again my captain, my heart, my genie.
