Pirate lyrics - Cher

He'll sail on with the summer wind

That blows on this same day

Everybody calls him Pirate

Dark and handsome in his own way

And the fire in his eyes

Lit all the fire inside of me

And soon you were feeling

So much more than the wind and waves and sea

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul

I only want the right to love you

I know the sea won't let you go

Pirate, my love will only chain you down

So just know how much I love you

And then turn that ship around

Every time that he'd sail back to me

We'd fall in love again

And my face would fill with wonder

At all the places that he's been

But I knew his sweetest love song

Was when he heard the trade winds blow

And I loved him way too much

To tell the secret he should know

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul

I only want the right to love you

I know the sea won't let you go

Pirate, my love will only chain you down

So just know how much I love you

And then turn that ship around

Now as I watch in silence

Another young man goes to sea

And his silhouette is stirrin' up

A painful memory

And I know his heart is set to sail

But mine is set to cry

Cause I feel as the way I did

The day is Daddy said goodbye

I told him

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul

I only want the right to love you

I know the sea won't let you go

Pirate, my love will only chain you down

So just know how much I love you

And then turn that ship around
