Mary Chapin Carpenter - 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
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 this near to whispered ecstacy

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
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 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
And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
And so I came to end of my pirate days

Mirror lyrics:

And so I came to end of my pirate days
And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Since I came to the end of my pirate days
And if I've seen his face since then it's only been in dreams my friend

They must live on grander dreams
And those who search for treasure
They can sail the seven seas
And those who need adventure

I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left
And one day he turned to me and before I took one breath
They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow
This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back

In my pirate days
And I buried all my dreams for someone else to find
We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul

They must live on grander dreams
And those who search for treasure
They can sail the seven seas
And those who need adventure

Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy
Last time that it appeared he was lying next to me
There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for
The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door
