Hearts were exploding around us as we drifted south down the bay.
|
The gray up above and gray down below left us with nothing to say.
|
So we drifted along in silence till the tickle of life trickled in.
|
And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand, we were catching fire again.
|
|
Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea.
|
Oh boatman, taker and giver, can you deliver me? I would forever run free.
|
|
Yeah, we finally caught up with legends, we were walking along side by side.
|
We worked out a plan to go out hand in hand, the long trail just wasn't that wide.
|
The 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 again.
|
|
Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea.
|
Oh boatman, taker and giver, can you deliver me? I would forever run free.
|
|
Oh, I'm a message in a bottle drifting along on a deep blue sea.
|
Waiting for some foreign shore, ready for something to be.
|
|
No longer afraid of falling, we cut the strings to the sky.
|
We found lever ground and we put ourselves down, amazing we all didn't die.
|
We took each moment as given, by second they came.
|
The ice and the sun and the thundering guns, good God I was finally sane.
|
|
Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea.
|
Oh boatman, taker and giver, can you deliver me?
|
Oh holy roller, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea.
|
Oh boatman, taker and giver, can you deliver me? I would forever run free.
