The Pirate Song

What did you say truth
'cause if you know truth
then I will stay with you
where you go.

I have searched,
I've traveled about
on these waters alone,
and I would love to make this place me home.

I remember dancing
a long time ago.
And I felt the feelings
a young sailor knows.
And a wish that vanished,
now what do you know?

Do you know
how tired I get?
The visions I've seen,
the monsters that hide 'neath my ship underneath?

There were pretty ladies
a long time ago,
and the battles bloody
with love in the blow.
Now if truth and love live,
I feel I should know.

What you see is what life's left to me,
my love.
And if something you say sets me free,
my love.
Then I'll fill you with gold,
and you won't look so old to me.

Why so shy?
That's fear in your eye.
I know it so well.
If I ever do tell
of the strange things I've seen.

Don't be scared:
I once would have cared,
but now I'm so wise.
If you knew half the winds
I'd stared down with these eyes.

The days were shorter
a long time ago.
And I had a daughter
a long time ago.
Now I know these waters,
so what do you know?

What you see is what life's left to me,
my love.
And if something you say sets me free,
my love.
Then I'll fill you with gold,
and you won't look so old...

(bridge)

Ooo, I remember dancing,
a long time ago.
And I felt the feelings
a young sailor knows.
Now if truth and love live,
I feel I should know.

What you see is what life's left to me,
my love.
And if something you say sets me free,
my love.
Then I'll fill you with gold,
and you won't look so old --

Have you lived through a storm on the sea,
my love.
Can't you tell what the tide's done to me,
my love.
Well I swear I could change,
if you simply explained it
to me.

I don't know what there is to say, except the usual: flawless editing, beautiful music choice, and dear god you can make anything beautiful, so putting Crusoe in your hands was kind of a visual orgasm. Thank you both!

Hi! I just ran across this, and I absolutely love it. The pacing is great, and the song really carries through with the images. Thanks!

So, I was watching this again, since it is AWESOME, and I started looking for somewhere to buy this song on CD, and apparently it is TOTALLY UNAVAILABLE ANYWHERE. Do you know anywhere I could buy it? If not, I will simply have to continue watching the vid even more often *g*

This song is a GEG rarity. You can buy it (along with other great songs from the 90s) for $75 here: http://greyeyeglances.com/store.html

They're using the money to buy back their songs from a record company, I believe, but it's a lot of money for a fangirl to pay, so you might want to think about buying one of their other wonderful CDs instead.

I put The Pirate Song up here for fangirls with little pocket change:

If it doesn't work, let me know.
