about

Dedicated to our best friend: Coltyn Giles.
Wherever life takes him, may it bring only happiness and passion, the same joy that he has brought into our lives.

lyrics

Well I hope you're safe on those old Virginia shores
I'll see you soon
All the while you've been gone I've been hoping
That that book ain't changing you

And when you open up those airlock doors
I'll be waiting on the other side
And when you return, I guess we will see if people can change in time

Oh Doctor! Oh Captain! Oh Riverboatman!
When the wind whispers lies of uncharted lands
When the sands fill your lungs, and the blood it runs thin
Don't forget where you began, you'll always be home my friend

When you set out for your voyage, they batten down all the hatches
So you can't hear any sound
They say that nothing can hurt you when you're this far underwater
But there's people out side that you won't hear drown

When the torpedoes are aimed at the people you miss most
And the coastlines of Heaven are so far from home
You can come back or not, but I'll be up all night
Either way I love you brother, and I'll see you in another life

Oh Doctor! Oh Captain! Oh Riverboatman!
When the wind whispers lies of uncharted lands
When the sands fill your lungs, and the blood it runs thin
Don't forget where you began, you'll always be home my friend

Oh Doctor! Oh Captain! Oh Riverboatman!
When the wind whispers lies of uncharted lands
Don't listen to them, they only see your sins
Not the great man that you've always been
