|
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 |
|
We'll be done in a turn of the earth |
|
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand |
|
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave |
|
Every eye on the coast ever more |
|
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore |
|
Under the waves and the earth of an age |
|
Lie a thousand old northerners graves |
|
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing 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 want to leave |
|
All who sail off the coast ever more |
|
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore |
|
I'm goin' away for a long time |
|
I'm goin' away for a long time |
|
Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand |
|
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave |
|
Every eye on the coast ever more |
|
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore |
|
Die if I must let my bones turn to dust |
|
I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave |
|
All who sail off the coast ever more |
|
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore |
|
I'm goin' away for a long time |
