Lyrics
I lost my heart among the waves
I wait to feel it sink
The girl I love has gone to sea
Whilst I stand on the brink
To my dismay she gives her ship
More love than ever I got
And I am left upon the shore
For my love's become a pirate
When first I heard I was on board
It's quite a sexy look
The hat looks good and I was pleased
That neither hand was a hook
The eye-patch was a turn-on
Even the sword I thought quite hot
The peg-leg may have been a touch too much
When my love became a pirate
For half a moon we sailed the seas
And other vessels sank
And though my cohorts did mutiny
I bid them walk the plank
But now our midship has been scuppered
Our love's succumbed to dry rot
And I am left to stay the course
For my love's become a pirate
I wait to hear her crow's nest call
And spy me off the bow
Ignore the sirens calling that
She lies in the locker now
So I stand alone upon the bay
And cannot help but cry lots
It's a landlubber's life to curse the day
My love became a pirate
