Penny for the Boatman

By waves of wind and water
his steady oar to cross
when all you’ve left to carry
will be worth its weight in love
to be old but without aging
to hold his flashing gaze
a penny for the boat man
to carry you away
So throw your sorrow to the graveyard
with your pyramid of sins
your jacket and jewellery
you got to throw it all in
don’t fear what walls have fallen
don’t linger for to wait
a penny for the boatman
to carry you away
Back on this side of the forever
where the weary wish and wait
oh this city she’s a lover
but this river she’s my fate
and we are still bound together
we are still the same
a penny for the boat man
to carry me away
