Lyrics

Ferryman

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

For the stone ones are broken, my sadness is woken

The sea roads are mistaken

So stand by the hail, with a shirt 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

[Chorus]

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

Following the path for the sun

[Chorus]

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
