When your love caught hold of me I was drinking Guinness on my own Fastest pint I ever drank I swung onto the street believing My news would go to print by morning I sang a song to Mark It was an acorn of a song It was a toy song for grown-ups A paper song that stood up in the lamplight Both of us sang harmonies we didn't understand You are my captain And I am open To every course that we might sail Because I need you I need the daylight The day within you The morning's quiet pa**ed before the morning sun When your love caught hold of me I dropped what I was holding Or fell off my chair, one or the other I think we stand to gain by being lovers Or others stand to gain from it One or the other, maybe both You are my captain And I am open To every course that we might sail Because I need you I need the daylight The day within you The morning's quiet pa**ed before the morning sun Pa**ed along the morning shore
