Brandi Carlile
Pirate on the Run
She woke up in a town made of quick sand
Gets harder to move everyday she stays
He woke up in the same hotel he always does
Just different numbers on the doors
Maybe they'll meet
Maybe they won't
Maybe they'll love each other and...
Maybe they don't
Shes a gypsy
Hes a pirate on the run
Her eyes they know too much
She'll treat ya like somebody but you just can't touch
His smile ain't seen the light of day
Exchanged it for some treasure somewhere along the way
Maybe the stars will align so they can sail on together
Maybe he'll steal her life
And she'll take his heart
And his favorite sweater
She's a gypsy
He's a pirate on the run
Ooh yes, They finally did meet
And let me tell ya
We loved, the first and last kind of love
I was perfect for her soul
I was perfect for his heart
And together we are perfect apart
Back when it was only you and me
Baby we were gonna be fine
Oh, then reality makes sure that you'll never be mine
I'm a gypsy
He's a pirate on the run
She's a gypsy
And I'm a pirate on the run
