Tales and wheels, and ships, and keels Sets a scene for a told and told again fable Sailor, sailor, theif and heart breaker There's always a room, for your light step For you're not like all the other pirates Your manners come cheap, your boots are shined Sit down. Free drink of my wine When we rowed on Like the salt from the sea that stains my teeth My taste is dead I can barely eat When we row on Your license to stay, and your license to roam free Expires with me On a far far and distant shore For sure I can feel her eyes for more For me. She still has eyes for me She was warm like tea To the very last drop never overly sweet I know, now I know A time time oh long ago The storm died, I met a girl And I left foolishly with a kiss on her cheek, in her sleep A tale for you fellow pirates Don't ever stay put Just keep on moving along, moving along When we rowed on Like the salt from the sea that stains my teeth My taste is dead, I can barely eat When we row on Your license to stay, and your license to roam free Expires with me Expires with me Expires with me Expires with me
