|
It was late at night on the open road |
|
Speeding like a man on the run |
|
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey |
|
He is closer now and the search is on |
|
Reading from a map in the mind |
|
Yes, there's the ragged hill and there's the boat on the river |
|
And when the rain came down |
|
He heard a wild dog howl |
|
There were voices in the night (Don't do it) |
|
Voices out of sight (Don't do it) |
|
Too many men have failed before |
|
Whatever you do |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Don't even fix a price |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Until he gets you to the other side |
|
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board |
|
Now there'll be no turning back |
|
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder |
|
And then the lightning flashed and the thunder roared |
|
And people calling out his name |
|
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water |
|
And then the ferryman said |
|
"There is trouble ahead |
|
So you must pay me now (Don't do it) |
|
You must pay me now" (Don't do it) |
|
And still that voice came from beyond |
|
Whatever you do |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Don't even fix a price |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Until he gets you to the other side |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Don't even fix a price |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Until he gets you to the other side |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Don't even fix a price |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Until he gets you to the other side |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Don't even fix a price |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
|
Until he gets you to the other side |
|
Don't pay the ferryman |
