PENANCE CRANE:
Bbm Cm
The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
Bbm D
And why he came to port I wonder
Bbm
To see a lady so my friends say
Dm7
She dances for the sailors
Abm
In a smoky cabaret bar underground
Bb
Down in a cellar in a harbour town
Bbm Cm
I know he told her love was treasure
Bbm D
And they would reap the fullest bounty
Bbm
He only comes to port for pleasure
Dm7
So when the winds of morning
Abm
Blew the curtains in she woke and found he'd gone
Bb
I saw his sails unfurling Thursday dawn
Bbm
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss

He'll steal your heart and sail away


THE DANCER:

Saturday early we met in the cove near the forest


PENANCE:
Gb
He'll leave you drowning in the flotsam Of a broken promise in the bay


THE DANCER:


(Dancing we wakened the dawn and the birds into chorus)

PENANCE:
Gbm
He came again to see her

Yes I think they told me it was Saturday


THE DANCER:

(Ask Penance Crane she was out in her garden she saw us)


PENANCE:
Bb
I was at sea then

I didn't see them
Bbm Cm
I don't believe what you are saying
Bbm D
It isn't true I hardly knew him
Bbm
Is this some game that you are playing
Dm7
Go ask the dancer she's the one who saw him last
Abm
The one who drew him here
Bb
He hasn't come to me since spring last year
Bbm
There was a time when he would

Bring me silks and sandalwood and Persian lace


THE DANCER:

(Then came another "goodbye" and another "Please don't go")


PENANCE:
Gb
And he would hold me close

And tell my sailing stories by the fireplace


THE DANCER:

(All night I dance and all day I keep watch with my sorrow)


PENANCE:
Gbm
I was at sea I tell you I was

Nowhere near the mentioned murder place


THE DANCER:

(Searching for sails that don't come

And I guess but I don't know)


PENANCE:
Bb
Go ask the dancer

She knows the answer


THE DANCER:

I don't know


PENANCE:
D
She knows the answer


THE DANCER:

I don't know


PENANCE:

She knows the answer


THE DANCER:

I don't know
