He'll sail on in with the summer wind

That blows on this came day

Everybody called him "Pirate"

Dark and handsome in his own way



And the fire in eyes

Lit all the fire inside of me

And soon you were feeling

So much more than the wind and waves and sea



[Chorus:]

Pirate, I'm not gonna take your soul

I only want the right to love you

I know the sea won't let you go

Pirate, my love will only chain ya down

So just know how much I love you

And then turn that ship around



Every time that he'd sail back to me

We'd fall in love again

And my face would fill with wonder

At all the places that he'd been



But I knew his sweetest love song

Was when he heard the tradewinds blow

And I loved him way too much

To tell the secret he should know



I told him



[Chorus]



Now as I watch in silence

Another young man goes to sea

And his silhouette is stirrin' up

A painful memory



And I know his heart is set to sail

But mine is set to cry

'Cause I feel as the way I did

The day his daddy said goodbye

I told him



[Chorus x2]
