I was born beside
a big blue bay
Grew up on the
Gulf of
Mexico
Dreamed of the islands with
Papa
Hemingway
And old
Errol
Flynn was my hero
All I ever wanted was to find you girl,
make love upon the seven seas
If we never made it around the world,
Key
West would be alright with me
Pirates and poets and me, you see,
are one of a kind
Searching for a treasure like you
Finding the perfect bride
Pirates and poets and maybe me
In love only where it's true
Buckingham and
Shakespeare and
Sidon
Believe it's real in love
with you
Pirates had their silver swords,
they can steal your heart and blade.
Poets had their golden words,
they can win you with what they say.
Never knew I had a hero in me,
never found much worth fighting for
Never knew the beauty of poetry,
but I'd never loved you before
Pirates and poets and me, you see,
are one of a kind
Searching for a treasure like you
Finding the perfect rhyme
Pir ates and poets and maybe me
The only way that's true
And the
Buccaneer and
Shakespeare inside of me
Believe that we're in love with you
Pirates and poets and me, you see,
are one of a kind
Searching for a treasure like you,
finding the perfect crime
Pirates and poets and me, believe,
we love only when it's true
