The Pirate's Tale

[Verse] Born on an island With the waves so wild Me mother she held me Her only child [Verse 2] Storm took her away Left me all alone Pirates found me crying Made the sea my home [Chorus] Oh the sea's a cruel friend But it's all I've known Raised on waves and wind A ship to call home [Verse 3] Fifty years a pirate Robbed and roamed the sea Captain’s word was law But he abandoned me [Bridge] Alone on a vessel Forgotten by fate Crew gone silent Left me to contemplate [Chorus] Oh the sea's a cruel friend But it's all I've known Raised on waves and wind A ship to call home
