Verse 1
Ghosts sing out from a roughened sea
Their souls happy and free
Singing songs of their maritime tales
Ghosts songs on the wind

Verse 2
Casts of rum and the tales of voyages
Made in younger days
Their callused hands hoist the canvas tight
For their onward flight
(ooohhhs)


Verse 3
Cargo holds filled with treasures and gold
Most taken in vain
Poor souls lost to these sailors dreams
And these ghosts unseen

Chores
Distant lands and far of places
Fill young minds with anticipation
Dreams of wealth and the taste of rum
That sign you on
(ooohhhs)


Chores
Sail by stars and the smell of the sea
Windless days are like eternity
Feel the sting of the first mates lash
That drives you on

Verse 4
Souls cry out from a roughened sea
Storm clouds brew in the night
Stealing your hopes and stealing your dreams
Ghost songs on the wind
