Across the Sea Songtext
von Selton

I remember
I remember when I crossed the sea
I was dirty when you looked at me
We′ve been sailing since the sun went down
And were all so glad to hit the ground
Pretty baby coming on my way
And I'm wondering if I′d have to pay
But something happened when you took my hand
All at once I was a gentleman

My oh my, I didn't understand that I
Was talking to you, talking to me
A pirate's life was waiting on the other side
But talking to you, was talking to me


Hubba hubba said my parrot friend
This is not the time to make amends
How this little bird can be so cool
While I′m living my life like a fool
Cutting onions I came to understand that I
I felt lonely, I did, and I began to cry
Was it true that we were meant to be
Or should i get through and c′est la vie

My oh my, I didn't understand that I
Was talking to you, talking to me
A pirate′s life was waiting on the other side
But talking to you, was talking to me
(Baby can't you see?)

I told the crew and they started laughing
They gave me some rum and we all started dancing
Running out to call you to the fun
Imagine my surprise when i saw what′s been done
They cut the rope and let the boat go free
That's why I′m writing from across the sea

My oh my, I didn't understand that I
Was talking to you, talking to me
A pirate's life was waiting on the other side
But talking to you, was talking to me
