Errol Thompson - Pirate Days lyrics

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 his 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 world is kinder to the kind that won't look back They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow 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 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 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 There's nothing near as quiet as the light, I'm looking for Last time that it appeared, he was lying next to me
