Captain Of A Shipwreck.

Captain of a Shipwreck

Song and Songwriter: Neil Diamond

I was lost until you found me.
You’re the reason for my today.
Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly.
Thanks to you I gladly say,
That if your goldmine comes up empty
I’ll be there to work the claim.
If you’re a captain of a shipwreck
I’ll be first mate to your shame.
Trust in me to share your burden.
Stand by you where I belong,
When life brings the day uncertain,
I will soothe you with my song.
And if your goldmine comes up empty,
I’ll be there to work the claim.
If you’re a captain of a shipwreck,
I’ll be first mate to your shame.
Fear no flood in stormy weather.
Fear no fire if winds arise.
Flesh and blood, I’m yours forever,
And forever, it never dies.
And if your goldmine comes up empty,
I’ll be there to work the claim.
If you’re a captain of a shipwreck,
I’ll be first mate to your shame.
If you’re a captain of a shipwreck,
You can find me up on the top deck.
You’ll be captain of a shipwreck,
I’ll be first mate to your shame.

In The Garden

“In The Garden”

Songwriters: Anne Murray / Tommy West

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I stayed in the garden with Him
Though the night all around me is falling
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
None other has ever known
