The Idea of North - The Pirate's Bride Lyrics

Lyrics The Pirate's Bride - The Idea of North



Sometimes in the light at the edge of the world
Is the ghost of a ship with it's tack sail furled
And night after night she would stand on the shore
And dream of the love that she knew before
The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men
When he set sail for the Western Main
To rob the ships of the Queen of Spain
And she would be his pirate's bride
She gave him the pistol and the sword at his side
The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again
Full fathom five my true love lies
No fine wooden casket no gold on his eyes
Where is the glory and where is the pride?
Where is the joy for the pirate's bride?
The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
And here in the light at the edge of the world
There's a ghost of a ship with it's tack sail furled
And day after day he would stand on the shore
And dream of the life that they knew before
The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again
