He was a captain of industry
He was a captain of the sea, oh
He was a gentle man
With cracks and lines across his hands, oh

Iron waves crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone, oh

She was engaged to be a bride
With eyes so true, he could have cried, oh
She watched him cry on his knees
" Dear ollie, please let me be" oh

Iron waves crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone, oh

" Ollie, " she said, " leave me be"
" Ollie, " she said, " leave me be"

She left him, he left everything
She left him, he left everything
She left him, he left everything
