The End Of My Pirate Days Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 ecstacy 

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 

And 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

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 end of my pirate days
