lyrics

COIN FOR CHARON

Gonna spread my wings tomorrow
Head out to the open sea
My feathers are like frayed sail cloth
& all those tiny white triangles beneath me

I've got a coin for Charon, there's a toll booth coming up

A steep narrow path leads down to the river
Worn bare by blistered feet
There's a candle at the prow, captain at the stern
This is the vessel I need to meet

I've got a coin for Charon, theres a toll booth coming up
I've got a coin for Charon, I do believe I've had enough

Fair winds & fallowing sees my fellow rover
Fair winds & fallowing seas
We'll share a laugh when this tricks all over
The is round is on me

I've got a coin for Charon, there's a tool booth coming up
I've got a coin for Charon, I do believe I've had enough
