Life's Ferry
I'd give anything
To give it all away
My earthly wealth
My name
Caught off guard
Now I have scars
Wish they'd find another place to play
Leave at the door
These cares I carry
Save two pence for the river sticks
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
These bones turn back to dust
I've given my living now go I must
Every passing minute
Thoughts climb the summit
Just rise above it
A drop in the bucket
Of tears we all cry
Because we've forgotten how to die
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
These bones turn back to dust
I've given my living now go I must
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
To give it all away
My earthly wealth
My name
Caught off guard
Now I have scars
Wish they'd find another place to play
Leave at the door
These cares I carry
Save two pence for the river sticks
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
These bones turn back to dust
I've given my living now go I must
Every passing minute
Thoughts climb the summit
Just rise above it
A drop in the bucket
Of tears we all cry
Because we've forgotten how to die
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
These bones turn back to dust
I've given my living now go I must
On life's ferry
We all will tarry
So be merry help carry life's loads
Strip clean these burdens
I feel so deep
Lay me down by my masters feet
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
Silence as a lamb
Happy I am
Soon I'll find sleep
