Last night I dreamt I saw a seagull fly Between Orion and the southern sky I saw a captain and he waved at me In between the devil and the deep blue sea That's not a seagull it's an albatross That's not Orion it's the southern cross That's not the captain it's the captain's wife In between an island and a sea of strife Chorus: Indian ocean, wild and free O South Atlantic, Zuider Zee Cape of Good Hope, Cape of Storms One day I'll cross Capricorn Is that a river or a trail of tears? Is that a forest or a vale of spears? Is that the captain or the captain's ghost, In between Agulhas and the Skeleton Coast? Last night I dreamt I saw a seagull fly Between Tugela and the River Kei I saw the captain and he called my name The more things change the more they stay the same Chorus
