Tonight I pulled up anchor
And I set my sails to sea
I went out to the blue, the ocean blue
Just me and my piracy
When I stepped onto land I took her hand
We were chasing the greatest adventure
And I didn't look back, I moored my boat
Along the side of the road
So, we built a home north of the city
Close enough yet far enough away
We built that home of mortar and stone
Along the side of the road
Then along she came, the dream again
The sea, the blue, her eyes
I questioned love, gave a sigh
I'll always have a mistress, a windy restless sea
Though I stand on dry land, it's not where my heart beats
My mistress, mistress
So, I let it pass, I let it go
My eyes fixed straight and blinded
These gardens grew, the children grow
Along the side of the road
So, what more can I ask of you
When you gave me all that you could
Would you endure my restlessness
As I dream about my boat
Then along she came, the dream again
The sea, the blue, her eyes
I questioned love, gave a sigh
I'll always have a mistress, a windy restless sea
Though I stand on dry land, it's not where my heart beats
I'll always have a mistress, she's a windy restless sea
Though I stand on dry land, it's not where my heart beats
My mistress, mistress
Tonight, I pulled up anchor
And I set my sails to sea
Out to the blue I left in shame
Just me and my piracy
