Phantom of the Standing alone on a water soaked deck Watching the rolls of a darkened sea Midnight, the crew below to check There's no one here on guard, but me. We sailed from shore today at dawn All hands on board to sail away But as the day grew longer on, The clouds formed a misty gray. Sea, Alone, I stand in the middle of the storm No one to save myself but me Signs of hope so far away friend But that's the way it's always been.. On my island of sand to spend my life my ship, a ghost of memories I'll die someday as I have lived Alone, a phantom of the sea. BM3 John Moorefield
