The Boatman

Well it was yoyo, I suppose

I play like fashion comes and goes

I can't set my mind on you

And yes I lied about those lovers

That they were just some kind of cover

For the nights we used to share

I've seen this water a lot before

Still I cross it once more

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

Bridges I burnt by now

There are people taking bets

Living all around our bed

For I can't see my thoughts on you

And I reduced them to a scratch

You know, just some pre-fucked-up match

For the nights we used to share

But I don't believe I care

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
