Don't Pay The Ferryman

In the style of

Chris de Burgh

Lyrics

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

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

ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

yea yea yea yeah
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
