Oh come back inside
The Ferryman's Wife
She doesn't mind
If we take our time
It isn't defeat
To fall to your knees
Let your lips repeat
The words that you need
Cause the Ferryman's Wife
She doesn't mind.
And I've been late
Everyday of my life
Don't think you can change
The nature of men
I'm not afraid
I have been
And I am
But if we drift apart darling
Don't trust those stars
That fade with the days
I have been
And remain
Oh these bones
They have grown so old
Weathered and broke
Darling it's time I go
But the Ferryman's Wife
Darling she doesn't mind
And I've been late
Every day of my life
Heaven's design
Or human device
I can't decide
But the Ferryman's Wife
She doesn't mind
If we take our time
And I've been late
Every day of my life
Oh these bones
They have grown so old
Silence and stone
Darling it's time I go
But the Ferryman's Wife
Darling she doesn't mind.
And I've been late
Every day of my life
