Songs Title：the pirate of penance[00:00:02]

The pirate anchored on a wednesday[00:00:06]

And why he came to port I wonder[00:00:11]

To see a lady so my friends say[00:00:16]

She dances for the sailors[00:00:21]

In a smoky cabaret bar underground[00:00:22]

Down in a cellar in a harbor town[00:00:26]

I know he told her love was treasure[00:00:34]

And they would reap the fullest bounty[00:00:39]

He only comes to port for pleasure[00:00:43]

So when the winds of morning[00:00:48]

Blew the curtains in she woke and found hed gone[00:00:50]

I saw his sails unfurling thursday dawn[00:00:53]

The pirate he will sink you with a kiss[00:01:01]

Hell steal your heart and sail away[00:01:03]

Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest[00:01:06]

Hell leave you drowning in the flotsam of a broken promise in the bay[00:01:12]

（dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus）[00:01:15]

He came again to see her[00:01:18]

Yes I think they told me it was saturday[00:01:19]

（ask penance crane she was out in her garden she saw us）[00:01:23]

I was at sea then[00:01:26]

I didnt see them[00:01:28]

I dont believe what you are saying[00:01:30]

It isnt true I hardly knew him[00:01:31]

Is this some game that you are playing[00:01:35]

Go ask the dancer shes the one who saw him last[00:01:39]

The one who drew him here[00:01:43]

He hasnt come to me since spring last year[00:01:45]

There was a time when he would[00:01:52]

Bring me silks and sandalwood and persian lace[00:01:54]

（then came another goodbye and another please dont go）[00:01:57]

And he would hold me close[00:02:00]

And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace[00:02:01]

（all night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow）[00:02:02]

I was at sea I tell you I was[00:02:05]

Nowhere near the mentioned murder place[00:02:07]

（searching for sails that dont come[00:02:08]

And I guess but I dont know）[00:02:10]

Go ask the dancer[00:02:11]

She knows the answer[00:02:12]

I dont know[00:02:15]

She knows the answer[00:02:16]

I dont know[00:02:18]

She knows the answer[00:02:20]

I dont know[00:02:23]
