I'm setting sail with everything I've stolen:
a map I can't read,
her heart,
his gold,
and everything in between.
I've stowed away on this pirate ship
adorned with tattered black sails,
and we've no course set save
for wherever the wind prevails.
Spell out, my gentlemen.
Pray for calm seas.
We'll follow these currents wherever the waves please.
I'll never cut my line
tied to the dock in our hometown
in case I want to come back home again.
I hope to God that you'll be there waiting for me
on the day of my return from the sea.
We would spend all hours with fishing lines tied to our toes,
and no one would ever know how to comprehend everything we had.
In two years time,
when there's no bounty on my head,
I'll return from my journey west
with meat on my bones,
hair on my face,
but no weight on my heart.
If my vessel sinks,
and by some miracle,
I see you
floating by my side,
we could spend our lives
on a desert island together,
and we'll be just fine.
