The captain & me


Deep as a river wide, as the sea,
changin' the ways of a captain and me.
I could be happy, Lord, so then should he
if all of the universe unveiled itself me.

So then a day flows into night,
down the street the beggar man who finds himself in wine.
If I am a good man, and sure in all my ways,
the captain of a starship that's homeward bound today.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
Marking time all through the day.

A whisper, an answer, a cry in the night,
break down, turn around, a feeling of fright.
The Indian, the Black Man, the Asian who see,
a door that is opening and they're goin' to be free.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
marking time all through the day.

We are all acceptable, we are all a place in time
Moving through a passageway,
bringing forth the end of time.

Growin', growin', changin' ev 'ry day,
well, I'm changin', I'm changin' ev 'y day,
knowin', showin' all my worldly ways,
oh, baby, all my worldly ways.
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring ,
marking time all through the day.
Light the fire, start the day,
mark the light that shows the way;
Changing times of fortunes past,
We will all be free at last.

We are the people of the 'round about,
we are the sails upon the sea.
We're gonna be there when ev-'rybody laughs about
the way that we are changin, you and me.

We are the people of the 'round about,
we are the sails upon the sea.
We're gonna be there when ev-'rybody laughs about
the way that we are changin, you and me.

We are the people of the 'round about, we are the sails upon the sea.

Do do_do do_do do_do do_do do,
do do_do do_do do_do do_do.

Do do_do do_do do_do do_do do,
do do_do do_do do_do do_do

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in San Jose, California, in 1969. Their sound, initially defined as rock with blues and country influences, later embraced elements of soft rock and pop in the 1970s. The name of the group derives from a slang term for marijuana. The original lineup included Tom Johnston (guitar, vocals), John Hartman (drums) and other musicians who joined over the years. Among the most notable members are also Patrick Simmons (guitar, vocals), Michael McDonald (keyboards, vocals) and Keith Knudsen (drums). The Doobie Brothers achieved international success with albums like "Toulouse Street" (1972), "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1973) and "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976). Their most famous songs include "Listen to the Music", "Black Water", "China Grove", "Long Train Runnin'", and "What a Fool Believes". The band has won four Grammy Awards and has sold over 48 million records worldwide. After several lineup changes, the Doobie Brothers reunited in 2019 with a lineup that includes Johnston, Simmons and Hartman.
