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
