Words and Music: John Jones

lyrics

FERRYMAN

Skimming stones on a diesel river
Hold my breath ‘til they disappear
Reflections broken, circles widen
Lots of things now coming clear
Words you said I still remember
Words hit harder than rocks and stones
You thought you could change me
I thought I could change the world, but now we know

They say I’m lucky to live here
Born in a boom in a promised land
Times have hit this place so hard
Faces lined and empty hands
I love this place as much as you
I love this place and maybe more
I see beauty not faded glory
A helping hand on a welcoming shore

Chorus
If you should need a guiding hand
When the sea of trouble is wide
If you should need a rock to cling to
When you're struggling against the tide
I'll be your ferryman and I'll never ask you why
I'll be your ferryman and I'll carry you over, over to the other side

I go with what I feel
What I see and where I walk
A local boy that loves the stories
The old music and the crazy talk
I speak as I find
Then regret when I'm alone
So when you go, remember
I'll be here still skimming stones

Chorus
