one last leap

the ship in which i sailed lies sunk,
my men, dead drunk
the treasure's gone with the rum
the mast had split
we wouldn't fix it,
those pirates could not get it done
still you stand here,
this cliff is sure sheer
in this first final embrace
the moon can shine,
but your, still mine,
pulse quickens the pace


i can feel the romance
one last dance
to take my feet
this spell you had me under
storms full of thunder
to make my heart
leap


no way, we're wrecks on rocks,
forget ticks tocks,
you've taken the time
i know its night
white rock shines bright
let's not rush caroline
spare our few moments to kiss
no doubt pure bliss
but we both know it can't last
our days are done
well, it's been fun
fun days are in the past

i can feel the romance
one last dance
to take my breath
no pirate flag to show
parlé, god, i must go
i love you past death

one last dance
one last dance

leap

now the waves wash my blood away
we hold hands on the dawning of day
smiles on faces, and deadly embrace of the sea
embrace it now for me
