The Captain - Kasey Chambers



Released in 1999 this was Kasey Chambers debut album. It featured Cry Like A Baby, This Flower and The Captain. A good old South Australian girl how can you not love Kasey Chambers?

I have seen Kasey live many times and she herself admits you either love or hate her whining country twang.

I have to add the lyrics for This Flower as it's one of the most beautiful songs ever:


Well this flower is my soul
But it's not half of what I owe
I should give you every rose that I ever grew
But take this one here for a start
And you can keep it in your heart
I have everything I need because of you
Well if my life was long enough
to pack up everything I love
I would do just that and give it all to you
But it's impossible to pay
All the things that you gave away
So this flower I give will have to do
All the flowers growing wild
For ten thousand lonely miles
It's not near enough to give you what I should
So I will owe you for a while
Maybe longer than my life
I would give you all the world if I could
