Shipboard Cook - Live

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
