Pirates of Love

Had I a compass that doesn’t point north

I’d follow the point to you

Had I a heart that beat without my chest

I’d give the chest to you

But I haven’t a pointer, I have a heart,

and my plunder comes to nought.

The star on the horizon shines,

but where are you?

Had my mind the thoughts of a pirate

I’d pirate my way to you

My heart beats with every moment,

why don’t you come?

My mind plots and plunders,

and still can’t follow the point

to you, wherever you are -

the point of treasure island

the island of muerte, the isle of death

death haunts, death to myself

Had I a compass

Had I a coin

A chest of shipwreck death…

I’d follow the death to you.
