The Ferryman Lyrics by Jeff Loops

The Magnolia Sessions

2021

[Verse 1]
The ferryman, with outstretched hands, betrays a crooked heart
And he don’t have the answers, he is told
To take whatever’s owed to him, will leave you on the dock
He just sees the souls as walkin‘ gold
[Verse 2]
Brother, can you help me out? It’s getting pretty dark
And the voices of the lost ones carry on
They never really stood a chance, they threw it all away
In septic greed and lust for selfish ways
[Chorus]
But you left too soon
The time, it got away
And you won’t feel thе price or the pain of anything
I’m sorry I took so long
I wish you could’ve stayеd
The answer‘s buried deep enough that you won’t have to pay
The ferryman
[Verse 3]
Just take whatever’s offered you, he’ll beat you in a deal
And speak so low that no one else can hear
The price you pay to get across, your body couldn‘t real
It’s not as if you ever had a choice
[Chorus]
But you left too soon
The time, it got away
And you won’t feel the price or the pain of anything
I’m sorry I took so long
I wish you could’ve stayed
The answer‘s buried deep enough that you won’t have to pay
The ferryman
