Written by Colin Meloy
I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the carbon collected I am the printing upon your stars
And when you sharp shine your eyes Looking lost, looking bright Wheel away on the light brigade
And if only for a second (Only for a second) And if only for a time (Only for a time) And if only for a second (Only for a time) And if only for a time We'll be alive We'll be alive
I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the carbon collected I am the printing upon your stars
There is a world, there is a time Looking calm, looking kind Wheel away at the break of day
And if only for a second (Only for a second) And if only for a time (Only for a time) And if only for a second (Only for a time) And if only for a time We'll be alive We'll be alive
I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the carbon collected I am the printing upon your stars
