lyrics

I look to the western sky
The sun is burning red
And I just can’t bear to think
That my sweet love is dead
The sea is calm for now
But I see clouds rolling in
And if we are to leave this place
Our time is running thin

I wonder where you are
As I lie awake in bed
I think of all the love you gave
The kind words you said
But here I am across the sea
Aboard a ship of fools
In search of fortune, fame and things
That don’t compare to you

An eye for an eye
And a drink for a dime
A pirate’s life indeed
Enough for a lifetime
I came aboard for I had never
Seen the world before
Though if I had your heart
I would have so much more
I long for the things
That I did so adore
Each night my mind is haunted
By these dreams of the shore

I look to the western sky
The sun is burning red
And I just can’t bear to think
That my sweet love is dead
But here I am across the sea
Aboard a ship of fools
In search of fortune, fame and things
That don’t compare to you
