Boatman (Album Version)

	Notes：
	Jt on sony.com：boatman is my brother livingston's song.
	I've always assumed it was about how he and maggie saved their marriage but i never really asked. in my family we like to save the intimate stuff for the general public.
	Hearts were exploding around us
	As we drifted south down the bay
	The gray up above and gray down below
	Left us with nothing to say
	So we drifted along in silence
	'til the tickle of life trickled in
	And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand
	We were catching fire again
	Chorus:
	Oh boatman, i am the river
	I am the mountain and the sea
	Oh boatman, taker and giver
	Can you deliver me
	I would forever run free
	Yeah we finally caught up with legends
	We were walking along side by side
	We worked out a plan
	To go out hand in hand
	But the long trail just wasn't that wide
	The water around us was freezing
	We just laughed and threw ourselves in
	And although we were old
	The sting of that cold
	Pumped up the feeling, here it is again
	Repeat chorus
	Oh i'm a message in a bottle
	Drifting along on a deep blue sea
	Waiting for some foreign shore
	Ready for something to be
	No longer afraid of falling
	We cut the strings to the sky
	We found level ground
	And we put ourselves down
	Amazing we all didn¹t die
	We took each moment as given
	By second by second they came
	The ice and the sun and the thundering guns
	Good god i was finally sane
	Repeat chorus
