Ferryman

Ferryman, ferryman Carry my memory on Out to the island On the horizon Following the path to the sun Following the path to the sun

Over the sandbar, holding the North Star Steady between mast and spar Creak of the oars and turn of the hours Keeping watch for the power Watch for the waves' breath, watch for the moon's death Down in the waters of day

Ferryman, ferryman Carry my memory on Out to the island On the horizon Following the path for the sun Following the path for the sun

For the stone ones and broken, my sadness is woken The sea roads are mistaken So stand by the hail, with a shark for a sail We grow weak and frail And with arms made of granite, in a blaze of the gannets We row off this planet

Ferryman, ferryman Carry my memory on Out to the island On the horizon Following the path to the sun Following the path for the sun

Following the path for the sun

Ferryman, ferryman Carry my memory on Out to the island On the horizon Following the path to the sun Following the path of the sun
