Lyrics Don't Pay the Ferryman

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 voices out of sight
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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
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 you must pay me now
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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
We were dead of sleep all clapped under hatches
With strange and several noises
Roaring shrieking howling jingling chains
And more diversity of sounds all horrible
We were awaked straightway at liberty
Where we in all her trim freshly beheld
Our royal good and gallant ship
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
