Ghost Crab in the Sand

Set sail by day for the first port of call
Point out where you're from, here's a map on the wall
I did show the spot to this mystical man
And he pointed for me to his tropical land

Dock long enough for one day at the beach
Of a swift-footed phantom he would to me teach
Side walking, translucent, his form barely shown
Ghost crab in the sand busy digging his home

Casino card dealer cast his eyes with a grin
Don't play this game baby, it's too hard to win
Lives shuffled, then cut by a higher hand
As dreams disappear, ghost crabs in the sand

Sways of the ship on the open sea
Mist of the dawn sweeping over me
We parted that morn, with a handful of tears
Weeks turned to months, and months into years

Long distance love is but lost though I fear
Never again to hold close or be near
Together we'll be, come along take my hand
Then he vanished completely, my ghost crab in the sand
