The Ghost on the Shore

I'm just a man, but I know that I'm damned

All the dead seem to know where I am

Till it began on the night of my birth

We'll be done in a turn of the Earth

Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand

I was born on the lake, and I don't wanna leave

Every eye on the coast evermore

Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Under the waves and the earth of an age

Lie a thousand old northerners' graves

Deep in the night, when the moon's glowin' bright

They come rising up into the night

Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust

I'm the lord of the lake, and I don't want to leave here

All who sail off the coast evermore

Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

I'm goin' away for a long time

I'm goin' away for a long time

Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand

I was born on the lake, and I don't wanna leave

Every eye on the coast evermore

Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust

I'm the lord of the lake, and I don't want to leave here

All who sail off the coast evermore

Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

I'm goin' away for a long time
