I'm in a nautical frame of mind so... Pirates lamment

The candles have all burnt out
And the night wind blows the scent of the sea
Though I'm here in your arms. I'm far away
On the mother sailing swift, sailing free

Now I'm bound for the heart of the darkness
I'm sailing the storm in my soul
In the dark and the deep
you will rock me to sleep
Down below... where the old sailors roll

When the sea birds rise in the morning
And the sun caresses the sand
I'll be drawn to the shore
Like so many before
who longed for the touch of your hand.

Now I'm bound for the heart of the darkness
I'm sailing the storm in my soul
In the dark and the deep
you will rock me to sleep
Down below... where the old sailors roll

I can still feel your kiss on the wind
I can taste your tears on the foam
But the lure of the tide that I'm feeling inside
Will not rest till my heart finds its home

Now my heart is the heart of the darkness
There are storms of love in my soul
I'm restless and deep
And before I can sleep
I must go... where the old sailors roll
