[Verse] Thirty years since the tide took her out A reckless hand on the wheel of doubt Lost her boat lost her trust lost her eyes Gone with the waves under gray-black skies [Prechorus] The sea it don’t forgive It takes and it lets live [Chorus] Ghost on the water shining bright Calling me closer through the night But when I reach she fades away A mirage of the love I betrayed [Verse 2] The horizon burns where the sun meets the foam Her laughter echoes like it’s leading me home A figure in white on a restless sea Is it her or just the ghost of who we used to be [Chorus] Ghost on the water shining bright Calling me closer through the night But when I reach she fades away A mirage of the love I betrayed [Bridge] I shout her name it swallows my sound The water laughs the moon looks down Her hand outstretched then gone like smoke A cruel reminder the ocean’s joke
