Jordan Reyne - The Ferryman

The Ferryman (c) & (p) Jordan Reyne 2014 

You ride again, and you still won't pay 
cos the middle and back isn't going the whole way 
your island, oh 
has a siren you say. 
But this song is your own, and you use it to shift blame. 

Her on the shore - "mother" is no name 
and the lake lady's lure, an anonymous fame 
and we glide overtop, and you wont dive in 
oh that dark 
would hide us all from sin. 

All you can eat - you're a man of your time. 
Consumption as virtue - oh it used to be mine. 
And choices are taken, even when they're not made 
and full cross or not, I'll always get paid. 

This is your last trip - yeah the boat stops here. 
And with two half lives, you're not a whole of a man 
so Ill ask you for one name 
but you close your eyes and sigh, sigh, sigh. 

Pitiful man - here is my price 
you can row back and forth between duty and vice 
but you'll never set foot upon island or shore 
cos those with no ties never needed the earth.
