The Pirates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

Great song from a great band!

There is only Mick Green from the Original Pirates left on this recording from 1988. Frank Farley and Johnny Spence reunited with Mick Green only one more time, in 2000 on "live in Japan" album. The best and, in my eyes, the only real "Pirates" were the original setup. But this isn't too bad :-)
