Boatman
Hearts were exploding around usAs we drifted south down the bayThe gray up above and gray down belowLeft us with nothing to saySo we drifted along in silence
'Til the tickle of life trickled in
And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand
We were catching fire againCHORUS:
Oh boatman, I am the river
I am the mountain and the seaOh boatman, taker and giverCan you deliver me
I would forever run freeYeah we finally caught up with legendsWe were walking along side by sideWe worked out a plan
To go out hand in hand
But the long trail just wasn't that wideThe water around us was freezing
We just laughed and threw ourselves in
And although we were old
The sting of that cold
Pumped up the feeling, here it is againREPEAT CHORUSOh I'm a message in a bottleDrifting along on a deep blue seaWaiting for some foreign shore
Ready for something to beNo longer afraid of falling
We cut the strings to the skyWe found level groundAnd we put ourselves down
Amazing we all didn't dieWe took each moment as given
By second by second they came
The ice and the sun and the thundering guns
Good God I was finally saneREPEAT CHORUS
