I found you behind the stairs
With a knife clasped in your hands
And I woke in the bedchamber with
blood on my chest.
Out there on the glum coast
The captain sailed home with his plump boats
He was taken goods, women and all
by pirates
How can I forget
It was there we met
In just such an age
Of fairytales
We’d sat on the gunwale
And knew that though all conditions were met
The time was not right.
Needless to say the seas have been wild
And we’ve traveled well
