Hearts were exploding around us
  As we drifted south down the bay
  The gray up above and gray down below
  Left us with nothing to say
  
  So we drifted along in silence
  'Til the tickle of life trickled in
  And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand
  We were catching fire again
  
  CHORUS:
  Oh boatman, I am the river
  I am the mountain and the sea
  Oh boatman, taker and giver
  Can you deliver me
  I would forever run free
  
  Yeah we finally caught up with legends
  We were walking along side by side
  We worked out a plan
  To go out hand in hand
  But the long trail just wasn't that wide
  
  The water around us was freezing
  We just laughed and threw ourselves in
  And although we were old
  The sting of that cold
  Pumped up the feeling, here it is again
