Lyrics
I stand watching the sea
Gaze at the far horizon
Wonder will this be the day
That you return to me
You sailed away
You never even stopped to say goodbye
Left me here with the family at home
I stand watching the sea
Rain or shine I'm always waiting
For approaching distant sails
To bring you home to me
You sailed away
A year or more to be a pirate bold
Stowed away, so your brother Jake was told
I stand watching the sea
Wonder if you're safe and whether
On your pirate ship you ever
Stop and think of me
You sailed away
No word of you has reached me since this day
But you'll return - a mother always knows
You always were the bravest one
My precious Max, my eldest son
Your tail so long, your fur so fine
Your whiskers quite as long as mine
You sailed away just three months old
Off to be a pirate bold...
I stand watching the sea
Glimpse a sail on the horizon
What a great surprise - this time
You're coming back to me
You're sailing home
I see you standing proud upon the deck
Rush home to tell your sister all the news
I sit waiting for you
Proud beside the tavern door
With your fine crew, a pirate cat
My wayward son returns
Where have you been?
Did you bring gold and tasty fish galore?
Did you bring rare and silken cloth to claw?
Did you become the Captain of your crew?
Did you sail far and visit islands new?
Did you bring tales of battle in full sail?
And Max, my son - what happened to your tail?
