Chris De Burgh - Don`t Pay The Ferryman (Album Ver.)

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 that ragged hill and there's a boat on the river
And when the rain came down
he heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night
Don't do it
Voices out of sight
Dont't do it
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
Don't do it
You must pay me now
Don't do it
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

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
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 that ragged hill and there's a boat on the river
And when the rain came down
he heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night
Don't do it
Voices out of sight
Dont't do it
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
Don't do it
You must pay me now
Don't do it
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

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
