Lord Huron - The Ghost On The Shore Lyrics






I'm just a man, but I know that I'm damned
All the dead seem to know where I am
The tale that began on the night of my birth
Will be done in a turn of the earth

Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
Every eye on the coast ever more
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Under the waves and the earth of an age
Lie a thousand old northerners' graves
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
They come rising up into the night

Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust
I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
All who sail off the coast ever more
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

I'm goin' away for a long, long time
I'm goin' away for a long, long time

Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand
I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
Every eye on the coast ever more
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust
I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
All who sail off the coast ever more
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

I'm goin' away for a long, long time

Lord Huron The Ghost On The Shore Comments
  1. A.... R....

    Lived near Lake Ontario for the last few years. Such a beautiful place and a force of nature.

  2. R.... P....

    Wild...Wild...........................

  3. A.... A....

    I too was born on the shore of one of the Great Lakes. While it isn't Lake Huron, it was Lake Superior. I'm now on the west coast but miss it up there.

  4. s.... ....

    Why am I crying

  5. G.... V....

    This song makes me feel like I’m on a swing, staring at the beautiful nature.

  6. E.... S....

    I look at the ghost of the shore daily or in my case my ghost of the past that haunts me...

  7. M.... K....

    If you listen to this type of music friend me immediately. bc real ones love this type

  8. S.... M....

    (From a distance) “I’m going away for a long time...”

  9. T.... L....

    I guess I'm too late for a comment in this video. But, at least it'd be here if someone new comes, just like I did. Sometimes I feel very lonely, I know what I want to achieve and who I am, but either way, it seems like a lonely road sometimes, because It feels I'm so different than anyone else, but I come here, in Lord Huron video's comments and see some folks that talk so much like me, it's a really good feeling, thanx, guys. And don't worry, I don't have depression or anything. I'm fine.

  10. S.... J....

    if i ever get a gf i'll play this while watching the stars with her at shore

  11. Z.... Z....

    And now I can be at peace when I rest

  12. d.... s....

    already 2019 and I'm still here <3

  13. s.... _....

    my ex loved lord huron. i miss him.

  14. Y.... B....

    I’m lost pls pray so I can find my way back to this cold world

  15. C.... P....

    And she left, and with her last goodbye a part of my life dissappeared like the waking memory of a dream. Fleeting shapes are all I have left, I can't even remember her face. All I remember is her voice, soft warm calm like the beach of some tropic paradise. I miss her so much but it's only in the back of my mind.

  16. E.... T....

    Fellow man , we shall all overcome and one day all this noise and negativity will be a bad dream, and your black and white world will be full of color one day we will be whole

  17. S.... J....

    i sometimes open this late at night and think about my life while watching the sky..sometimes crying and sometimes smiling...

  18. S.... I....

    Greetings from Pakistan, Huron means a lot to me, it's a river in Ann arbor , beautiful like the Lord's voice and music.what a discovery....

  19. K.... L....

    I love this😆😆😆😆🐱

  20. J.... ....

    This song kills me inside. I missed my chance with a guy who I think of every day, I wouldn't let him in at the time because mentally I wasn't ready and I moved on, then so did he. It's been three years. I wish I could tell him how much I love him but it's too late now.

    J.... ....

    JemPearson91 hey if you still care for him tell him you only live once you gotta take the chances maybe he still likes you too you just gotta go for it

    J.... ....

    It’s too late I feel, he has a girlfriend and it’s not my style to ruin what people have. It’s sadly my own loss and something I have to live with. This song brings back the emotions for him for some reason x

  21. A.... K....

    I'm hurting, I feel lost, and this music is the only sort of melody that gets through to my heavy heart.

    A.... K....

    Great music, I have been listening to it alot and have a heavy heart too, what is keeping you down?

  22. B.... l....

    Bu nedir amına koyayım ya

  23. S.... T....

    when i was little my grandmother was with a man who i always called papa they were together for a long time before he passed but he had a small piece of land on Rush lake in Michigan and that's where i spent most of my summers as a kid I would wake up just about every morning with the sun in my eyes the bird chirping and the summer breeze coming through the windows. I recently learned that the house (technically trailer) is gonna be torn down cause no one can afford to maintain it. and it just sucks but there's nothing i can do but go there soon and take some 180 pictures and grab a piece or part of the house to keep

    S.... T....

    Sounds idyllic! Not the tearing down part ☹️

  24. I.... A....

    nao canso de ouvir

  25. N.... �....

    I hope I will find this song again after many years and this comment is for you Nefize .
    I hope you realized and realizing your dreams.

  26. E.... Q....

    "I'm the lord of the lake."


    This refers to Lake Huron, where the band got it's name and where the lead singer grew up at. Nice wording and hint.

  27. b.... l....

    where this guy from talented

  28. D.... B....

    is that the man with no name "blondie" in the painting? good song i like it a lot

  29. A.... 2....

    This song reminds me of my first horse Domingo. He was a black and white paint. He’s gone now but every time I go to the barn I always think of him. He’ll always be my ghost on the shore.🖤

  30. c.... m....

    Beautiful

  31. m.... a....

    be chance for my new beginning

  32. H.... ....

    I once saw fullest night sky when I was little, I was looking for comets but found something better. It was beautiful, the darkness faded once my eyes adjusted, and I could see something that made everything in me stop. The stars in the sky had never been so heartbreakingly clear. Have u ever seen something so absolutely perfect u felt outside of urself? I still remember and with everything in me I want to see it again. It was blue, and so bright it lit up my dark road, the trees, everything. I’ve never wanted to see something again so bad in my life

  33. G.... ....

    I do not understand why Lord Huron aren't as big as Coldplay, their songs are sublime.

    G.... ....

    GingerNinja i quite like listening to an artist who isn’t as big though, it feels more personal and secret if that makes sense? but yeah they deserve way more appreciation

  34. E.... R....

    Man just started my journey discovering these songs and sad to say how relevant of a feeling every word or lyrics resonates with myself . So many times you can give your heart away with full trust and care and be let down each time you can have a heart of gold and it won’t matter to some how much you shine and it creates that damaged person inside me

    E.... R....

    Eric Reza love without expecting to be loved in return just love because you love .. love and lose and move on .. don’t let others break you my friend you sound like you have a good heart.. the right person will come i can promise you that..

  35. D.... B....

    Dang this song is fixing me

  36. R.... M....

    Sou apaixonada nessa banda 😍 nessa músicas ❤🎶 , as mais lindas músicas Lord Huron 😍😍❤

  37. R.... A....

    I wanna tell the world about Lord Huron but I kinda want to hide and keep it for myself too. Too precious

    R.... A....

    Your precious..

    R.... A....

    Raihan Ali yes! i feel this

  38. C.... W....

    My favorite LH song <3

  39. L.... A....

    How have so many people gotten the lyrics wrong? Even on Google.. Here's an update!

    I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
    All the dead seem to know where I am
    The tale that began on the night of my birth
    Will be done in a turn of the earth

    Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
    I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
    Every eye on the coast ever more
    Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

    Under the waves and the earth of an age
    Lie a thousand old northerners graves
    Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
    They come rising up into the light

    Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
    I'm the Lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
    All who sail off the coast ever more
    Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

    I'm goin' away for a long time
    I'm goin' away for a long time

    Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
    I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave it
    Every eye on the coast ever more
    Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

    Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
    I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave it
    All who sail off the coast ever more
    Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

    I'm goin' away for a long time

    This type of music is amazing. Coupled with this time of year, it is wonderful. I go out and tap maple trees and collect the sap to make syrup. This music accompanies me as I go from tree to tree. It's really fitting with the quiet of the forest.

    , I had a girl named Lauren, the most beautiful woman in the world, somehow I lost her she left one day to go figure some things out she said she'd be back very soon I haven't really heard or spoke to her since my heart has been broken my soul has been left searching and my mind is wandering everywhere aimlessly. I wish I knew what to do where to start where to go dish now being 7 months later my heart has never found love and I'm 50 plus years old believe it or not I lived my entire life without ever finding love or knowing what it look like or sounding like and for those three 3 months 4 months of my life I found my soulmate Beyond any shadow of a doubt I recognized her from far away and long ago. I hope that somehow faith will find it that she reads this, the night we met what's the song by Lord Huron that we listen to if you're there Lauren please no that my love for you will never die it will always stay strong although dimly-lit in The Dark Knight my weary days long hours longer nights well hopefully make the sky today more brighter than ever in every way just knowing that I had a chance to love you hoping I have a chance again the pain and suffering better I've had a chance to feel it as hard as it is then to have never felt it at all life is almost passed me by without the experience thank you for everything you've given me which is more than you'll ever know open yourhttps://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/06/increasing-our-efforts-to-fight-false-news/ heart close your eyes come back to me girly girl I love you

  98. B.... G....

    I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
    All the dead seem to know where I am
    Till it began on the night of my birth
    We'll be done in a turn of the earth
    Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
    I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave
    Every eye on the coast ever more
    Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore
    Under the waves and the earth of an age
    Lie a thousand old northerners graves
    Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
    They come rising up into the night
    Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
    I'm the Lord of the lake and I don't want to leave
    All who sail off the coast ever more
    Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore
    I'm goin' away for a long time
    I'm goin' away for a long time
    Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand
    I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave
    Every eye on the coast ever more
    Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore
    Die if I must let my bones turn to dust
    I'm the lord of the lake and I don't want to leave
    All who sail off the coast ever more
    Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore
    I'm goin' away for a long time
