The End Of My Pirate Days

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

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

Last time that it appeared, he was lying next to me

Last time I felt his near to whispered ecstasy

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

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

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

If I've called his name since then

It's only been in dreams my friend

And so I came to the end

Of my pirate days
