<pre><font size='+2'>THE FERRYMAN lyrics MCTELL RALPH</font><br>Oh, the traveller moving on the land, behold I give you, I give you the travelling man. <br />
<br />
And he`s very heavy laden with the questions in his burden. <br />
<br />
Lo, and I give you the travelling man. <br />
<br />
He has crossed the mountains, he has forded streams. <br />
<br />
He has spent a long time surviving on his dreams. <br />
<br />
Many times he`s tried to lighten up his heavy load. <br />
<br />
But his compromises fail him and he ends back on the road. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh the traveller he is weary, the travelling man he is tired. <br />
<br />
For the road is never ending in his fear he has cried aloud for a saviour <br />
<br />
And in vain for a teacher, someone to lighten up the load <br />
<br />
And he`s heard the sounds of war in a gentle shower of rain <br />
<br />
And the whisperings of despair that he could not explain. <br />
<br />
The reason for his journey, or the reason it began <br />
<br />
Or was there any reason for the travelling man. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At last he reached a river so beautiful and wide <br />
<br />
But the current was so strong he could not reach the other side <br />
<br />
And the weary travelling man looked for a ferryman strong enough to row against the tide, <br />
<br />
And the ferryman was old but he moved the boat so well,<br />
<br />
Or did the river move the boat? The traveller could not tell. <br />
<br />
Said the ferryman, "You`re weary and the answers that you seek, <br />
<br />
Are in the singing river, listen humbly it will speak." <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, the traveller closed his eyes and he listened and he heard <br />
<br />
Only the river murmuring and the beating of his heart. <br />
<br />
Then he heard the river laughing, and he heard the river crying <br />
<br />
And in it was the beauty and the sadness of the world <br />
<br />
And he heard the sounds of dying, but he heard the sounds of birth <br />
<br />
And slowly his ears heard all the sounds of earth. <br />
<br />
The sounds blended together and they became a whole <br />
<br />
And the rhythm was his heartbeat to the music his soul. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the river had no beginning, as it flowed into the sea <br />
<br />
And the seas filled the clouds and the rains filled the streams <br />
<br />
And as slowly as the sunrise, he opened up his eyes <br />
<br />
To find the ferryman had gone, the boat moved gently on the tide. <br />
<br />
And the river flowed within him, and with it he was one <br />
<br />
And the seas moved around the earth, and the earth around the sun. <br />
<br />
And the traveller was the river, was the boat and ferryman, <br />
<br />
Was the journey and the song that the singing river sang.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_ferryman_lyrics-mctell_ralph.html" target='_blank'>THE FERRYMAN lyrics MCTELL RALPH</a></pre>

Oh, the traveller moving on the land, behold I give you, I give you the travelling man.

And he`s very heavy laden with the questions in his burden.

Lo, and I give you the travelling man.

He has crossed the mountains, he has forded streams.

He has spent a long time surviving on his dreams.

Many times he`s tried to lighten up his heavy load.

But his compromises fail him and he ends back on the road.

Oh the traveller he is weary, the travelling man he is tired.

For the road is never ending in his fear he has cried aloud for a saviour

And in vain for a teacher, someone to lighten up the load

And he`s heard the sounds of war in a gentle shower of rain

And the whisperings of despair that he could not explain.

The reason for his journey, or the reason it began

Or was there any reason for the travelling man.

At last he reached a river so beautiful and wide

But the current was so strong he could not reach the other side

And the weary travelling man looked for a ferryman strong enough to row against the tide,

And the ferryman was old but he moved the boat so well,

Or did the river move the boat? The traveller could not tell.

Said the ferryman, "You`re weary and the answers that you seek,

Are in the singing river, listen humbly it will speak."

Oh, the traveller closed his eyes and he listened and he heard

Only the river murmuring and the beating of his heart.

Then he heard the river laughing, and he heard the river crying

And in it was the beauty and the sadness of the world

And he heard the sounds of dying, but he heard the sounds of birth

And slowly his ears heard all the sounds of earth.

The sounds blended together and they became a whole

And the rhythm was his heartbeat to the music his soul.

And the river had no beginning, as it flowed into the sea

And the seas filled the clouds and the rains filled the streams

And as slowly as the sunrise, he opened up his eyes

To find the ferryman had gone, the boat moved gently on the tide.

And the river flowed within him, and with it he was one

And the seas moved around the earth, and the earth around the sun.

And the traveller was the river, was the boat and ferryman,

Was the journey and the song that the singing river sang.
