LYRICS

traveled far
from my home
foreign streets
paved with stone
deep in my dreams
moroccan sand
now i sail my ship
on dry land

there is a light that
shines on the frontier
pirates yeah
pirates
and on a dark night
when you feel lonely
and the world just
can't understand you
pirates yeah
pirates

steal the jewel
watch it break
it cuts with an eye
i can't escape
the ruby heals
alone i stand
when i sail my ship
on dry land

there is a light that
shines on the frontier
and baby someday
we're gonna be there
pirates yeah
pirates
and on a dark night
when you feel lonely
and when the world just
can't understand you
pirates yeah
pirates
there is a light that
shines on the frontier
pirates yeah
pirates
there is a light that
shines on the frontier

COMMENTS

Premise: A misplaced person dreams of a better future and a place to belong, taking solace in the lights of the pilferers on the high seas.

Most Memorable Lines: "And on a dark night when you feel lonely/And the world just can't understand you/Pirates, yeah/Pirates."

Type Of Happiness: Things may seem bleak now, but Tori is confident that this condition is just temporary.
