I met a man out by the river His eyes were sunk from some defeat His boat had washed up on the beachhead The oar was broken at his feet He told me he's no longer sailing There's too much love he couldn't keep I'm tired of taking out a full boat And coming back with only me Keep your eyes out on the distance, my boy You can live in just the outline, you know You think that things are changing But they're really moving on You can chase them on this river But you can't catch what is gone Just turn around and run Run, run I walked right past and pushed the boat in And grabbed the oar next to his feet I'm not here searching for advice now Your ship is everything I need I'm gonna take this broken ferry I'll make it float with parts of me I'll never rescue the whole forest But I can save a single leaf I know that things are changing I know they're moving on Letras de cancionesThat's why I'm at the river I can't catch what is gone But I'll chase them as they go I'll chase them as they go The Ferryman was left in silence With water leaking through the hull A sense of purpose spoke first softly Until it shouted from the boat If I can learn to take this journey I'll finally navigate my grief I'll catch a glimpse of what's still left here And finally tell her she's been seen And if I fail to reach the shoreline Or if I break beneath the breeze Let it be known I offered something I gave up all the love in me So then the boat hit the horizon As Charon sat there on the beach For the first time in recent memory He smiled and stared out at the sea From Letras Mania
