Mary Chapin Carpenter - The End Of My Pirate Days lyrics

rate me

The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door

There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for

And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me

Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy

And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas

And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I

Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days

This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back

They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow

And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath

I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left

And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas

And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend

Since I came to the end of my pirate days

And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend

So I came to the end of my pirate days
