Lyrics

Mr. Ferryman
I've been trodding on the shore for way too long
Only got a penny
Can you help me cross this river?
Float me like a feather
Back to home
Mr. Ferryman
Got no baggage, no companion
I'm a mess
I can't feel my fingers
Every season sings like winter
But before I go
Can I make one request?
When life feels like a noose
Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea
Please don't wake me up
For if you do
I might be stuck inside my dreams
Undertaker man
Can't you drop me even more than six feet deep?
Seen so much beneath these skies
I'm wondering what the view is like
Tucked beneath a comforter of peat
When you're digging, man
Won't you make sure that the ground is packed real tight?
Don't let me escape my grave
To see just what a wreck I've made
I'll forget it all within a night
When life feels like a noose
Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea
Please don't wake me up
For if you do
I might be stuck inside my dreams
Mr. Preacher, man
Won't you please exaggerate my eulogy?
Lord, I know it's sinful if you lie about my story
But I need to be remembered as the man
My parents wanted me to be
When life feels like a noose
Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea
Please don't wake me up
For if you do
I might be stuck inside my dreams
If you do, I might be stuck
