The Boatman

Well it was yoyo, I suppose,

I play like fashion comes and goes.

I can't set my mind on you.

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 the bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt by now

There are 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 the bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt

The bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along the bridges I burnt

I shook the hand of the boatman

Who would take me back along the bridges I burnt
