I left a girl with eyes so kind, Her voice still echoes in my mind. She waits for me by the river’s bend, But I’ll not see her till the end. Haul away, boy, the stars run wide, No planet waits on the other side! Raise the sails of iron and flame, The cosmos bends to the captain’s name! No planet for you no land, no rest The pirate’s life is now your quest! Swab the deck all steel and glass, Your boyhood fades as the years will pass! You’ll fight in storms of meteors bright, And drink the dark of endless night! Her hand was warm, her kiss was sweet, Now only starlight at my feet. I dream of her in the midnight glow, But the void has claimed what I can’t let go. The black flag flies where the comets burn, No home awaits, you’ll never return! No planet for you no land, no rest The pirate’s life is now your quest! I’ll bear the scars of battles won, But her memory shines like a rising sun. So I carve her name in the stars above, A pirate bound, but lost in love. Oh, my darling, hear me cry, Your face still haunts the endless sky. I’ll never walk our fields again. The stars have chained me to their reign. But if the heavens hold your light, I’ll sail to you through endless night. Heave-ho, the stars will roar, the lad’s not bound for land no more! Heave-ho, the black sails rise, A pirate’s fate is in his eyes! Heave-ho, the void runs deep, Among the stars her ghost he will keep! No planet for you no land, no rest The pirate’s life is now your quest! Swab the deck all steel and glass, Your boyhood fades as the years will pass!
