The Pirate’s Bride Songtext
von Sting

Sometimes in the light at the edge of the world
Is the ghost of a ship with its tax sail furled
And night after night, she would stand on the shore
And dream of the love that she knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men

We set sail for the Western Main
To rob the ships of the Queen of Spain
And she would be his pirate′s bride
She gave him the pistol and the sword at his side


The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again

Full fathom five my true love lies
In a fine wooden casket, no gold on his eyes
Where is the glory? Where is the pride?
Where is the joy for this pirate′s bride?

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men

Here in the light at the edge of the world
He'd wait for a ship with its tax sail furled
And day after day, he would stand on the shore
And dream of the life that he knew before


The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again
