The End Of My Pirate Days

Mary Chapin Carpenter - The End Of My Pirate Days

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

Theres nothing near as quiet as the light Im looking for

Last time that it appeared he was lying next to me

Last time I felt his ear 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 dream

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 wont 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 Ive seen his face since then its only been in dreams my friend

Since I cam to the end of my pirate days

And if Ive called his name since then, its only been in dreams my friend

And so I came to the end of my pirate days
