shipboard cook

I wanna go to the ocean

And send a postcard of my loneliness

Forgetting you is so elusive
I run away but its always this

Youre the only one

I love

Its 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 shes a shipboard cook

She can run line but if you take a look its not easy though

Cause Im hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

Hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

Im 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 thats all that you need

She pitches magical elixirs potions full of mead for a broken heart

Its too late for that

So light em up boys heres to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and thats where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

Im always a ghost

Youre about as haunted as a darkened basement

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

I ride along without em on a deep sea swell
I heard theres someone new and she starts to talk
Shes the merry widow on the widows walk
And the fear is Im the one no matter where you are
In this twisted ****** up film noir
And Im 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 heres to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and thats where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

Im always a ghost

Im always a ghost

Im always a ghost

Im always a ghost

So light em up boys heres to your youth

Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and thats where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

Im always a ghost

So light em up boys heres to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth

I lost myself and thats where I lost you

Oh oh let go of that whipping post

Im always a ghost
