The Pirate of Penance

[00:05.52] The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
[00:10.87] And why he came to port I wonder
[00:15.81] To see a lady, so my friends say
[00:20.55] She dances for the sailors in a smoky cabaret bar underground
[00:26.18] Down in a cellar in a harbor town
[00:33.44] I know he told her love was treasure
[00:38.59] And they would reap the fullest bounty
[00:43.45] He only comes to port for pleasure
[00:47.96] So when the winds of morning blew the curtains in she woke
[00:50.41] And found he'd gone
[00:53.48] I saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn
[01:00.67] The pirate he will sink you with a kiss
[01:02.59] He'll steal your heart and sail away
[01:03.51] (Saturday, early we met in the cove near the forest)
[01:06.10] He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam of a broken promise in the bay
[01:08.92] (Dancing, we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus)
[01:11.59] He came again to see her, yes, I think they told me it was Saturday
[01:14.16] (Ask Penance Crane, she was out in her garden, she saw us)
[01:16.03] I was at sea then, I didn't see them
[01:24.43] I don't believe what you are saying
[01:29.65] It isn't true, I hardly knew him
[01:34.40] Is this some game that you are playing?
[01:39.21] Go ask the dancer, she's the one who saw him last
[01:41.34] The one who drew him here
[01:45.20] He hasn't come to me since spring last year
[01:51.94] There was a time when he would
[01:53.42] Bring me silks and sandalwood and Persian lace
[01:54.97] (Then came another "goodbye" and another "Please, don't go")
[01:57.41] And he would hold me close
[01:58.53] And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace
[02:00.22] (All night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow)
[02:02.73] I was at sea, I tell you
[02:03.91] I was nowhere near the mentioned murder place
[02:05.84] (Searching for sails that don't come and I guess but I don't know)
[02:07.48] Go ask the dancer, she knows the answer
[02:13.00] (I don't know)
[02:15.28] She knows the answer
[02:18.18] (I don't know)
[02:20.05] She knows the answer
[02:22.65] (I don't know)
[02:36.59]
