He sailed on in with the summer
wind that blows on Biscayne Bay
Everybody called him pirate,
dark an d handsome in his own way
And the fire in his eyes
lit all the fire inside of me
An d soon you're feeling so much more
than the wind and waves and sea
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 you 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 trade winds blow
And I loved him way too much
To tell the secret he should know
I told him, 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 train you down
So just know how much I love you
And then turn that ship around
Now as I watch in si lence
another young man goes to sea
And his sil houette is stirring
up a painful memory
And I know his heart is set to sail
but mine is set to cry
Cause I feel just the way
I did the day his daddy said goodbye
I told him, 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 change you ten
So just know how much I love you,
and then turn that ship around
Hope, I'm not gonna take your soul.
I only want the right to love you.
I know the sea won't let you go.
Vi olence,
my love will only chain you down.
So just know how much I love you
and then turn that ship around.
Violence, I'm not gonna take your soul. you
