I sailed on a ship of paper

And i sunk in the deep of your eyes

I got lost in your graveyard

Now i dream on a bed of knives

I found the maps to your maps

I lost the shores for you

And i'll never get back

Cause i'm a ghost ship on the blue

Now i hold my poems

For ladies unknown

Until my hands go weak

I'll be

A ghost ship on the blue

The birds are in the sky

Land's been gone for days

All you left was time

To find a solid grave

Pirates never loved

The way that i do

You never said enough

To keep me next to you

Now i hold my poems

For ladies unknown

Until my hands go weak

I'll be

A ghost ship on the blue

The earth is flat and dangerous

I grew out of my iron coat

With a banshee in a tunnel
