The Boatman

(albüm: Applause - 2011)

Well it was yoyo, I suppose
I play like fashion comes and goes
I can't set my mind on you
And yes I lied about those lovers
That they were just some kind of cover
For the nights we used to share
I've seen this water a lot before
Still I cross it once more

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt
The bridges I burnt
Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt
The bridges I burnt
Bridges I burnt by now

And there are people taking bets
Living all around our bed
For I can set my thoughts on you
And I reduced them to a scratch
You know, just some pre-fucked-up match
For the nights we used to share
But I don't believe I care

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt
The bridges I burnt
Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt
The bridges I burnt
Bridges I burnt by now

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt

I shook the hand of the boatman
Who would take me back along bridges I burnt
