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 its 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

So light em up boys here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and that's where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

I'm always a ghost

You're about as haunted as a darkened basement

I got all the chances of a dog in a settlement
I live by her secrets she'll never tell

I ride along without em on a deep sea swell
I heard there's someone new and she starts to talk
She's the merry widow on the widow's walk
And the fear is I'm the one no matter where you are
In this twisted ****** up film noir
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
So light em up boys here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and that's where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

I'm always a ghost

I'm always a ghost

I'm always a ghost

I'm always a ghost

So light em up boys here's to your youth

Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and that's where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

I'm always a ghost

So light em up boys here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and that's where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

I'm always a ghost
