Mary Chapin Carpenter The End of My Pirate Days Lyrics

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 ecstasy

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 would 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 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 the end of my pirate days
