Song Lyrics

Just like in the movies a message
Comes through all the static and hiss
Pulling just enough words from the storm filled sky
To know that someone somewhere needs this

The radioman runs to the wheelhouse
Got that message held tight in his fist
An s.o.s off of the wireless
Saying someone somewhere needs this

For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea

You are the captain, this is the ship
You will have to decide what gets done
Think about it when you're on watch tonight
'Cause someday this message will come

For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea

And your hands are slippery
The wind is strong
The boat is rocking
The world is storm
Your hands are slippery
You feel like turning away to run free
Your hands are so slippery
But you can pull someone out of the sea

For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea

For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea

James Raymond, David Crosby
