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 ……….lalalalalalalala
