A-Jigsaw - Drunken Sailors & Happy Pirates Lyrics




I've summoned love and I called upon you
There ain't no love in the way that I love you
I've summoned love and I called upon you
There ain't no love in the way that I love you

I prayed and prayed for sober days, when wine and rum would finally be over with my bones; when this poison would no longer be my wife.
I kept to myself the disquiet of the hours, the torment of those endless nights and the death of all hope, but all this time I was the good hand inviting darkness inside.
Old age brought me another hunger, another faith, a different taste to my mouth
I wrote a song never to be sung with the wrecks of the days, and then another and another, until my voice couldn't hold them anymore.
I swore I would kill you in every single song (and hold no memory)

Of Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you
Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you

And still they wouldn't believe me, I still couldn't believe me
A song with a broken heart. You know there's a hell for every man?
There's the one of which you've been warned and this other that I will tell.
It's time, the only devil we have welcomed into our house (to remind us)

Of Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you
Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you

Of Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you
Drunken sailors and happy pirates, how I wish I'd sail with you

We must leave now and face the night. The dark and cold night. goodnight
