It has to do with his father. His father always dreamed of going to far off places at sea, but never really did. "Why Should I Cry For You?" He didn't cry for a long time when his father died. The whole album is so sad, he obviously was going through a hard time when his parents died. |

| Sting – Ghost Story Lyrics
| 18 years ago

This song is definitely about his father, and how after denying it for years, he must have loved his father after all. "You were my compass star"; he was led by him. "You were my measure"; he wanted to be like him. "When everything I did sought your attention". In his book, Sting talks about that later in life, he realized becoming famous was an effort to win his Dad's respect. |
