Standard (EADGBE)

I'll cross ten oceans, and I'll cross ten seas

I am a gannet and I’m flying free

I was a sailor, been lost before

But now i'm a coming, coming home to shore

I lost a woman, the one that i love

Thought she was given to me from the lord up above

I know that i'll find her, one of these days

Somewhere in a land, that’s far away

Yeah in a land, that’s far away

Grew up together, then we came undone

And then I found out years later that we'd, had us a son

My life it was empty, where could they be

One day I’m going to find them, but they wont see me

Cos im just a ghost upon the sea

Broken hearted and flying lonely

Oh my wings are spread wide as I, I ride the tide

But I'm never reaching, those that I seek

My body is battered, and my wings are torn

Where's that sweet lady, oh wheres that sweet boy

You know that I’d buy her dresses and that I’d buy him some toys

I'm never reaching, those that I seek

My body is battered, and my wings are torn

How will I survive, those winter storms

Cos I'm just a ghost upon the sea

Yeah I'm just a ghost upon the sea
