Johnny Flynn & Robert Macfarlane - Ferryman Lyrics

Johnny Flynn & Robert Macfarlane Lyrics

"Ferryman"

Ferryman, ferryman
Carry my memory on
Out to the island
On the horizon
Following the path of the sun
Following the path of the sun

Over the sandbar, holding the North Star
Steady between mast and spar
Creak of the oars and turn of the hours
Keeping watch for the power
Watch for the waves' breath, watch for the moon's death
Down in the waters of day

Ferryman, ferryman
Carry my memory on
Out to the island
On the horizon
Following the path of the sun
Following the path of the sun

For the stone ones are broken, my sadness is woken
The sea roads are mistaken
So stung by the hail, with a shirt for a sail
We grow weak and frail
And with arms made of granite, in a blaze of the gannets
We row off this planet

Ferryman, ferryman
Carry my memory on
Out to the island
On the horizon
Following the path of the sun
Following the path of the sun

Following the path of the sun
Following the path of the sun

Ferryman, ferryman
Carry my memory on
Out to the island
On the horizon
Following the path of the sun
Following the path of the sun
