Ferryman

By Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)

Sail Away by Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)

Ferryman, Ferryman,

bear me away,

sail down the river,

free as the day,

Queen of the portals

proud on the prow,

my life in our wake

and my soul at the bow,

Luggage discarded,

I’m travelling light,

my heart leaping joyful,

my spirit takes flight.

The horizon is calling,

free as the day,

so Ferryman, Ferryman,

bear me away.
