Europa And The Pirate Twins Lyrics - Singles - Thomas Dolby

I was fourteen 

She was twelve 

Father traveled, hers as well 

Europa 

Down the beaches 

Hand in hand 

Twelfth of never on the sand 

Then war took her away 

We swore a vow that day: 

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa 

Oh my country, Europa 

I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa 

Ta republique 

Nine years after, who'd I see 

On the cover of a magazine? 

Europa 

Buy her singles and see all her films 

Paste her pictures on my windowsill 

But that's not quite the same 

It isn't, is it? 

Europa my old friend 

We'll be the Pirate Twins again 

Europa 

Oh my country. 

Europa 

I'll walk beside you in the rain 

Europa 

Ta republique 

Blew in from the hoverport 

She was back in London 

Pushed past the paper men 

Calling her name 

She smiled for the cameras 

As a bodyguard grabbed me 

Then her eyes were gone forever 

As they drove her away 

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa 

Oh my country, Europa
