Old man swears off his cigarets
And lo, his life is saved
A tired mother picks up running
And she lives again
Young girl decides not to care
And they stop their bullying
And the stage is clear

Oh what a joke
You clean your porch
It won't snow again
When the ferryman beckons
You say
"No thanks, I'm good for another year"

A criminal turns over a new leaf
And the bank says "have a house"
A young man regrets his words
And the tides turn, not just for him
But for everyone
And feel it carrying
Towards the open sea

When the ferryman beckons
You say
"No thanks, I'm good for another year"
