Cover art for Captain lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

one of dave's top songs...love the idea how we control these big ships- our lives- and we must be the sole directors. Our lives, these ships, will face many difficulties, like big waves, but we must control the ship ourselves. I LOVE the line, why must I be hypnotized by the promise of a long life!!!! why wait until tomorrrow to do something- tomorrow may never come!!!!!
