RIVERBANK

RIVERBANK The river of life flows fast toward the weir This scene is now reality, not a pantomime So smile for the ferryman as he draws near Is that sweet music that you can now hear It is calling softly with a melody so sublime The river of life flows fast toward the weir There are now only memories to hold dear As recent years pass, they no longer rhyme So smile for the ferryman as he draws near Be resigned to one’s fate, then shed a tear The underworld is calling, no need to climb The river of life flows fast toward the weir Shared understanding as others gather here In the distance, can you hear the bell chime So smile for the ferryman as he draws near With no more to be done, it would appear The beginning of the end, now is your time The river of life flows fast toward the weir So smile for the ferryman as he draws near
