Lord Huron - The Ghost on the Shore


I’m just a man but I know that I’m damned 
All the dead seem to know where I am 
‘Till it began on the night of my birth 
Will be done in a turn of the earth 

Right where I lay let my bones turn to sand 
I was born on a lake and I don’t wanna leave ya 
Every eye on the coast every morn’ will remember 
The sight of the ghost on the shore 

Under the waves in the earth of an age 
Lie a thousand old northerners’ graves 
Deep in the night when the moon’s glowin’ bright 
They come rising up into the night 

Die if I must 
Let my bones turn to dust 
I’m the Lord of the lake and I don’t wanna leave ya 
All who sail off the coast every morn' will remember 
The tale of the ghost on the shore 

I’m goin’ away for a long time
