Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

Black Sails

Black sails in the moonlight

Black patch on your eye

You shiver your timbers, baby

And I'll shiver mine

A treasure map is hidden

On your legs

Your veins are very close

Some day I'll wrap my big yardarms

Around your legs and sail away

I'll bury my heart on some island

And take you there someday to find it

I want you, I need you, I love you

No other man will ever reap your rays

Well you're so veiny

You probably think this map belongs to you

But I'm so crazy, what can I do?

So raise the anchor up

Hoist the canvas

Sail me to my heart
