Ghost on the Shore

Verse 1: I'm just a man, but I know that I'm damned All the dead seem to know where I am 'Til it began on the night of my birth We'll be done in a turn of the earth Chorus 1: Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Verse 2: Under the waves and the earth of an age Lie a thousand old northerners' graves Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright They come rising up into the night Chorus 2: Die of I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore Bridge: I'm goin' away for a long, long time I'm goin' away for a long, long time Chorus 1: Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it Every eye on the coast ever more Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore Chorus 2: Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it All who sail off the coast ever more Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore Outro: I'm goin' away for a long, long time
