Black Flag Lyrics

If I was to hold you in my arms
Would you think of me only in the positive?
A little bit of your love can light my way home
And that's a light I love to feel.

A little bit of your magic can smooth me out
We'll sing the finest pirate songs and raise our glasses all night long
We'll run it up the flagpole and see who smiles
Cause that's a smile I love to see.

chorus
Open water, prepare to be boarded
It's under a black flag that we sail
Hoist the anchor and catch a mighty tail wind
My ship is coming home.
And I fold up my black flag
And I look for my angel.

A little sip of damnation can cure my thirst
We'll drink the finest wine in memory of the finest times
When you locked me in with your song
And I'd crash just to hear you sing.

I think your charms are gonna wear me out
I got to pack it up and get away until I'm rested up
So I can sail the seas at ease
Cause that's the life I choose to lead

(chorus)

I stand a top of my crow's nest
And fire a shot across your bow
I fell in love with your siren song
Come on, let me go, please let me go
Don't you ever let me go
