Boatman

Somewhere far out west is there a place we can go

They say it's only safe under the ground you know

Ask the old boatman Where will I go when I die

He'll say

La

I wanna ring out true like the bells on a hill

Of a town where I want to be born again

And again and again

When the sirens wail will I be far from home

You will not hear them coming you'll not hear them go

When the sirens wail will I be left along

You knew they was coming you knew they would go

Ask the boatman

Where will they go when they die

He'll say

La

Come forth black rider and measure the seas

Come forth black rider we've had too much time you see
