Pirates - Lyrics - Y Kant Tori Read

Y Kant Tori Read was a 1980s synthpop band, fronted by singer-songwriter Tori Amos. The band released one album, also called Y Kant Tori Read, which was largely unsuccessful; Atlantic Records abandoned promoting the record completely after only two months of release. The band originally consisted of Amos, Steve Caton, Matt Sorum , and bassist Brad Cobb. They worked with record producer Joe Chiccarelli, and Kim Bullard, later of Kajagoogoo. The name comes from an incident in Amos' childhood where she was asked to leave the Peabody Conservatory because she refused to read sheet music.

Traveled far From my home Foreign streets Paved with stone Deep in my dreams Moroccan sand Now i sail my ship On dry land There is a light that Shines on the frontier Pirates yeah Pirates And on a dark night When you feel lonely And the world just Can't understand you Pirates yeah Pirates Steal the jewel Watch it break It cuts with an eye I can't escape The ruby heals Alone i stand When i sail my ship On dry land There is a light that Shines on the frontier And baby someday We're gonna be there Pirates yeah Pirates And on a dark night When you feel lonely And when the world just Can't understand you Pirates yeah Pirates There is a light that Shines on the frontier Pirates yeah Pirates There is a light that Shines on the frontier
