Sting - The Pirate's Bride Lyrics
Sometimes in the light at the edge of the worldIs the ghost of a ship with it's black sail furledAnd night after night she would stand on the shoreAnd dream of the love that she knew beforeThe tide rolls out, the tide rolls inWithout a thought for the ways of menWe set sail for the Spanish MainTo rob the ships of the Queen of SpainAnd she would be his pirate's brideShe gave him the pistol and the sword at his sideThe tide rolls out, the tide rolls inWithout a care for the ways of menI'd give three ships of Spanish goldTo see my love againFull fathom five my true love liesIn a fine wooden casket with gold on his eyesWhere is the glory and where is the pride?Where is the joy for the pirate's bride?The tide rolls out, the tide rolls inWithout a care for the ways of menHere in the light at the edge of the worldHe'd wait for a ship with it's black sail furledAnd day after day he would stand on the shoreAnd dream of the life that they knew beforeThe tide rolls out, the tide rolls inWithout a care for the ways of menI'd give three ships of Spanish goldTo see my love again
