Shipboard Cook |
| I wanna go to the ocean |
| And send a postcard of my loneliness |
| Forgetting you is so elusive |
| I run away but it’s always this |
| You’re the only one |
| I love |
| It’s always been you |
| And I wish I was conscripted in the Merchant Marines |
| Shanghaied into service to sails and machines just to stay alive |
| And my sister keeps it simple she’s a shipboard cook |
| She can run line, but if you take a look, it’s not easy though |
| 'Cause I’m hoping you will find me |
| I keep hoping you will find me |
| Hoping you will find me |
| I keep hoping you will find me |
| I’m always a ghost |
| I tried your gypsy tarot readings, some seance stunt |
| I keep an open mind but I think it’s just a front |
| Want to believe it though |
| My sister says: «Forget her boy, that’s all that you need» |
| She pitches magical elixirs, potions full of mead for a broken heart |
| It’s too late for that |
| And I try to keep it simple |
| I try to keep it true |
| It’s always been you |
| It’s always been you |
| When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke |
| It’s all just a joke |
| It’s all just a boast |
| Yeah yeah yeah, oh |
| I’m always a ghost |
| You’re about as haunted as a darkened basement |
| I’ve got all the chances of a dog in a settlement |
| She may have her secrets, she’ll never tell |
| I ride along without 'em on a deep sea swell |
| I heard there’s something new, she starts to talk |
| She’s the merry widow on the widow’s walk |
| And they say: «What do you fear what are you running from?» |
| The only thing I fear is when I go numb |
| And I’m hoping you will find me |
| I keep hoping you will find me |
| Hoping you will find me |
| I keep hoping you will find me |
| Yeah yeah yeah |
| And I try to keep it simple |
| I try to keep it true |
| It’s always been you |
| It’s always been you |
| When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke |
| It’s all just a joke |
| It’s all just a boast |
| Yeah yeah yeah, oh |
| I’m always a ghost |
| I’m always a ghost |
| I’m always a ghost |
| I’m always a ghost |
