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 his near to whispered ecstasy      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   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      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      If I've called his name since then   It's only been in dreams my friend   And so I came to the end   Of my pirate days
