[Intro- Instrumental] [Open] Ahoy! Shadow on the foam Yo ho ho Storm is calling home [Verse 1] Black flag snapping in the cold Cold wind Salt on my tongue Mist on my chin Gold in the hull Ghosts in my head Laughed at the gallows Danced with the dead Cutlass swinging in the moon’s sharp light Boots kick sparks when I start a fight Every coast Just another score Never thought my heart could want much more [Chorus] Arrr! I was born for the boom and the roar Yo ho ho I was chasing the war Till I saw you stand on that burning shore Ahoy My love I’m a pirate no more Arrr! All the silver and the spilling of rum Yo ho ho Now it all comes undone With a single look Like a smoking gun Ahoy My love You’re the only one (yo ho ho!) [Verse 2] You Red scarf tied in the cannon smoke Eyes like trouble Every promise a joke Boot on the rail Dared me to try “Take me or leave me Live or die” I laughed Then you stole my blade Kissed my cheek as the whole world swayed Deck went wild But the noise turned mild Just you and the tide and the pull of your smile [Chorus] Arrr! I was born for the boom and the roar Yo ho ho I was chasing the war Till I saw you stand on that burning shore Ahoy My love I’m a pirate no more Arrr! All the silver and the spilling of rum Yo ho ho Now it all comes undone With a single look Like a smoking gun Ahoy My love You’re the only one [Bridge] [Beat drops to pulsing bass and claps] Yo ho ho We dance on the edge of the mast (hey!) Yo ho ho Hearts beat fast Past Too fast You said “Promise me treasure that can’t be spent” I swore on the sky and the sails we bent From reef to reef Through the thunder drum It’s your wild laugh that I’m plundering from [Chorus] Arrr! I was born for the boom and the roar Yo ho ho I was chasing the war Till I saw you stand on that burning shore Ahoy My love I’m a pirate no more Arrr! Let the cannons and the old life fade Yo ho ho Every debt we’ve paid Hand in hand through the salt and the sun Ahoy My love You’re the only one [Outro] Ahoy! On the bow in the glow Yo ho ho Wherever you go I go (arrr!) [Outro- Instrumental]
