The Boatman Lyrics

I'm gonna bury my grief

In the brown and rotting leaves

Of this stormy winter

I'm gonna take that love

And all that was lost

And let it go

For my true love's gone now

And I am left here alone

With my heart

That is hollow and dry

And withered

Take me down to the riverside

Lay me out and let my bones dry

I will see you on the other side

Leave me here while the waters rise

Lay me out I'm waiting for the boatman

To see me to the other side

And oh my love I'm weary

My soul is tired

My body aches

I pray that death will take me

And I'll see my love again

Again

Take me down to the riverside

Lay me out and let my bones dry

I will see you on the other side

Leave me here while the waters rise

Lay me out I'm waiting for the boatman

To see me to the other side

The other side

I would feel the sun upon my face

Set sail with the wind at my back

Then won't you lie me in the wildflowers

Down by the riverbank

Take me down to the riverside

Lay me out and let my bones dry

I will see you on the other side

Leave me here while the waters rise

Lay me out I'm waiting for the boatman

To see me to the other side

Take me down to the riverside

Lay me out and let my bones dry

I will see you on the other side

Leave me here while the waters rise

Lay me out I'm waiting for the boatman

To see me to the other side, the other side
