Yesternight Lover (A Sea Dogges Song)

[seymoure]

The soften dawn has yet to touch your silken pillow,

While from your noble life away I must creep,

Where I am to go you must needs never follow,

T'is best for the angels to let you sleep,

Less you know me for a monster and a scoundrel,

Devil's bargains I am bound to keep,

Not the lover you thought encountered,

My sins, I fear, run far to deep

(CHORUS)

I kill, I pillage, I plunder,

Do the things that Pirates do,

I'd split all mankind asunder,

Never once, though, would I hurt you.

(END CHORUS)

When I take to the waves betide,

Looting every ship on the sea,

No man can stand before motive,

His life means less than naught to me

I stain my blade all shades of crimson,

My ears hear screams in ev'ry key,

But all that would make my soul dim some,

Is to hear your disappointment in me.

(CHORUS)

So when I return some distant someday,

To stand once again in this place,

If you have not known of my villainy

I'll know when I see your face,

For there is no one I will not murder,

No voice I care if it scream

I'll kill anything that's in my way,

But I'd die 'fore I'd kill your dream.

(CHORUS)
