Текст (слова) песни: Chris De Burgh - Don`t Pay The Ferryman
It was late at night on the open road, Speeding like a man on the run, A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;
He is close now and the search is on, Reading from a map in the mind, Yes there`s the ragged hill, And there`s the boat on the river,
And when the rain came down, He heard a wild dog howl, There were voices in the night - "Don`t do it!" Voices out of sight - "Don`t do it! Too many men have failed before, Whatever you do,
Don`t pay the ferryman, Don`t even fix a price, Don`t pay the ferryman, Until he gets you to the other side;"
In the rolling mist then he gets on board, Now there`ll be no turning back, Beware that hooded old man at the rudder, And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned On the water;
And then the ferryman said, "There is trouble ahead, So you must pay me now," - "Don`t do it!" "you must pay me now," - "Don`t do it!" And still that voice came from beyond, "Whatever you do,
Don`t pay the ferryman, Don`t even fix a price, Don`t pay the ferryman, Until he gets you to the other side;
Don`t pay - the ferryman!"
