Crossing
We started out in Minnesota
Heading to San Francisco
Airport check in done and then to
Security line, away we go
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
My parent said this is our daughter
Traveling home inside this urn
Never done this said my father
Asked him what to do in turn
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
The TSA agent said you take a
Quarter place it underneath
The box with the urn and then you send it
Through the x-ray line to see
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
And so my mother placed Charon's obol
Underneath my sister's urn
Through the x-ray line we sent her
The coin, the agents could discern
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
In days of old
(No shade, no wandering)
A coin of gold is what you
(Not on the banks for a hundred years)
Needed to get across the
(One coin for the crossing)
River
(Is what you needed to leave the pier)
Heading to San Francisco
Airport check in done and then to
Security line, away we go
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
My parent said this is our daughter
Traveling home inside this urn
Never done this said my father
Asked him what to do in turn
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
The TSA agent said you take a
Quarter place it underneath
The box with the urn and then you send it
Through the x-ray line to see
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
And so my mother placed Charon's obol
Underneath my sister's urn
Through the x-ray line we sent her
The coin, the agents could discern
No shade, no wandering
Not on the banks for a hundred years
One coin for the crossing
Is what you needed to leave the pier
In days of old
(No shade, no wandering)
A coin of gold is what you
(Not on the banks for a hundred years)
Needed to get across the
(One coin for the crossing)
River
(Is what you needed to leave the pier)
