Boatman - James Taylor[00:00:00]
Written by:Livingston Taylor/Maggie Taylor[00:00:00]
Hearts were exploding around us[00:00:01]
As we drifted south down the bay[00:00:05]
The gray up above and gray down below[00:00:09]
Left us with nothing to say[00:00:15]
So we drifted along in silence[00:00:19]
'Til the tickle of life trickled in[00:00:24]
And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand[00:00:28]
We were catching fire again[00:00:33]
Oh boatman I am the river[00:00:38]
I am the mountain and the sea[00:00:42]
Oh boatman taker and giver[00:00:47]
Can you deliver me[00:00:52]
I would forever run free[00:00:59]
Yeah we finally caught up with legends[00:01:03]
We were walking along side by side[00:01:07]
We worked out a plan[00:01:12]
To go out hand in hand[00:01:14]
Long trail just wasn't that wide[00:01:17]
The water around us was freezing[00:01:21]
We just laughed and threw ourselves in[00:01:26]
And although we were old[00:01:30]
The sting of that cold[00:01:33]
Pumped up the feeling here it is again[00:01:35]
Oh boatman I am the river[00:01:40]
I am the mountain and the sea[00:01:44]
Oh boatman taker and giver[00:01:49]
Can you deliver me[00:01:54]
I would forever run free[00:02:01]
Oh I'm a message in a bottle[00:02:05]
Drifting along on a deep blue sea[00:02:10]
Waiting for some foreign shore[00:02:15]
Ready for something to be[00:02:21]
No longer afraid of falling[00:02:24]
We cut the strings to the sky[00:02:29]
We found level ground[00:02:34]
And we put ourselves down[00:02:36]
Amazing we all didn't die[00:02:39]
We took each moment as given[00:02:43]
By second by second they came[00:02:48]
The ice and the sun and the thundering guns[00:02:52]
Good god I was finally sane[00:02:57]
Oh boatman I am the river[00:03:02]
I am the mountain and the sea[00:03:07]
Oh boatman taker and giver[00:03:11]
Can you deliver me[00:03:16]
Oh lord I am the river[00:03:20]
I am the mountain and the sea[00:03:25]
Oh boatman taker and giver[00:03:30]
Can you deliver me[00:03:34]
I would forever run free[00:03:44]
