Boatman Lyrics

Somewhere far out west is there a place we can go?
They say it's only safe under the ground, you know...
Ask the old boatman "Where will I go when I die?"
He'll say "La la la..."

I wanna ring out true like the bells on a hill
Of a town where I want to be born again
And again and again...

When the sirens wail will I be far from home?
[You will not hear them coming you'll not hear them go]
When the sirens wail will I be left along?
[You knew they was coming you knew they would go]
Ask the boatman "Where will they go when they die?"
He'll say "La la la..."

Come forth black rider, and measure the seas!
Come forth black rider, we've had too much time you see.
