Europa and the Pirate Twins Thomas Dolby

[Intro]
Okay

I was fourteen
She was twelve
Father traveled, hers as well, Europa
Down the beaches, hand in hand
Twelfth of never on the sand
Then war took her away
We swore a vow that day:

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country, Europa
I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république, Europa

Nine years after
Who'd I see on the cover of a magazine?
Europa
Buy her singles and see all her films
Paste her pictures on my windowsill
But that's not quite the same - it isn't, is it?
Europa, my old friend

We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa
Oh my country (Oh my country), Europa
I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa
Ta république, Europa
