歌词

作曲:Livingston Taylor+Maggie Taylor

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

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

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

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

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 didn't 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

Oh boatman I am the river

I am the mountain and the sea

Oh boatman taker and giver

Can you deliver me

Oh lord 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
