Chris De Burgh - 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 was closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind;
Yes, there the ragged hill
and there the boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl?
There were voices in the night Don do it!?
Voices out of sight Don do it!
Too many men have failed before!
Whatever you do,
Don pay the ferryman!
Don even fix a price!
Don pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!?
In the rolling mist, he gets on board ?
Now there l be no turning back..
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder.
And then the lightening flashed
and the thunder rolled
And people calling out his name ame ame?
And dancing bones that jabbered
and a-moaned on the water.
And then the ferryman said,
here is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now.? Don do it!
ou must pay me now!? Don do it!
And still that voice came from beyond!
hatever you do,
Don pay the ferryman!
Don even fix a price!
Don pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don pay the ferryman!
Don even fix a price!
Don pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don pay the ferryman!
Don even fix a price!
Don pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don pay the ferryman!
Don even fix a price!
Don pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don payt he ferryman!
