lyrics

I hope you've waited up for me this evening
I know it's late but I'm heading home
At the bakery there's thirteen other pirates
Every one of them is going back alone

I miss you from early this morning
When we laid in bed and whispered the truth
Hidden from the winter time raindrops
That were knocking on my galvanized roof

When you sing I feel the whole world leave me
When you smile I know it's gone for good
If I find out you're my innocent saviour
Might not be fair but it's understood

If you're going to the Harbour
If you're heading across the sea
If you vanish from this island
I don't think I can live
If you leave and don't bring me

The shadows of the trees are on the ceiling
Making friends with roaches and rats
The ripped up flag is lying on the floor now
The patriots are lost without their hats

I want to take you out to see the sunset
I know that we can make it if we run
We're missing sixteen pieces of the puzzle
We'll find them in the rivers of the sun

I will meet you on the shores of Barcelona
We will kiss as if we've never kissed before
I will know that you're my innocent saviour
And we will live and love and laugh and nothing more

If you're going to the Harbour
If you're heading across the sea
If you vanish from this island
I don't think I can live
If you leave and don't bring me
