Pirates
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Traveled far from my home
Foreign streets paved with stone
Deep in my dreams, Moroccan sand
Now I sail my ship
On dry land
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
Yeah
Steal the jewel, watch it break
It cuts with an eye, I can't escape
The ruby heals, alone I stand
When I sail my ship
On dry land
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
Yeah
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
And baby someday
We're gonna be there
Pirates yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night
When you feel lonely
And when the world just
Can't understand you
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
Pirates yeah
Pirates
There is a light that
Shines on the frontier
