Gangplank Runaway
[Verse] Down in the hold where the lanterns sway Chains would rattle as night turns day But I broke my bonds in the captain’s den And swore I’d never be bound again [Chorus] Oh the gangplank’s creak sang sweet to me The taste of salt and the smell of the sea With the wind on my back and no more chains I laughed at the sky and forgot my pain [Verse] The captain roared like a stormy tide His boots hit the deck with his crew at his side But I danced on air with a daring grin Stepped on the plank and said goodbye to sin [Chorus] Oh the gangplank’s creak sang sweet to me The taste of salt and the smell of the sea With the wind on my back and no more chains I laughed at the sky and forgot my pain [Bridge] The waves reached up like an old friend’s hand The stars in the sky formed a rebel’s band Out on the water I sang my tune An outlaw free under the pirate moon [Chorus] Oh the gangplank’s creak sang sweet to me The taste of salt and the smell of the sea With the wind on my back and no more chains I laughed at the sky and forgot my pain
