Lyrics
Ghost in the Water
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
I fell overboard
Dark of night
Man overboard
Lost from sight
Started swimmin’ in the water
All alone
It was me and the water
Tryin’ to get home in my dream
The waves were like walls on either side of me
I swam up them and down them
Suddenly there was a man, a ghost
Rising up through the water
He rose over me
A naked man
He then beckoned me
On I swam
There were ghosts in the water
Children too
Following me through the water
Through the blue of my dream
Each of them watching to see when I drown
Each of them waiting to take me back down
Each of them curious if I might survive
Wishing that they were alive
It’s the ghost and me in the rolling sea
And the fear dies down inside of me
Now where I’m goin’ is the great unknown
I’m just tryin’ to get home
There are ghosts in the water as I climb the waves
Ghosts in the water from their murky graves
And they watch in silence as I go it alone
Tryin’ to get back home
I’m just tryin’ to get back home
There was Jose Miguel Cerone who fell from the mast
An inexperienced seaman from Sanlucar de Barrameda
Abigail von Stuttfeldt
Who went down with her vast fortune tucked away in boxes in the hold
Little Jimmy Patterson with his older sister Kate
Off to see the world with Grandpa Higgins
Separated when the ship went down when gramps went off to find his own life jacket
Still holding hands, still ready to see the world
Bartholomew Oliver Smith
Who was the only one to bail out from his P-38 in flames, but “Oh my God, the chute don’t work…oh yes, and call me Bart”
And a naked man who lost it all and no longer remembers “What the hell happened?”
How the hell he got there
Who he was
Ghosts all
Living only partially
Stuck inside the sea
So it’s the ghosts and me in the rolling sea
And the fear dies down inside of me
Now where I’m goin’ is the great unknown
I’m just tryin’ to get home
There are ghosts in the water as I climb the waves
Ghosts in the water from their murky graves
And they watch in silence as I go it alone
Tryin’ to get back home
We’re all tryin’ to get back home
We all come from the deep blue sea
We’re all swimmin’ through this endless dream
We all have these trials to some degree
We’re all just tryin’ to get home
Tryin’ to get back home
Tryin’ to get back home
Tryin’ to get back home
