Emily Axford – Riverboat Shanty

Emily Axford – Riverboat Shanty Lyrics

Artist: Emily Axford
Song: Riverboat Shanty

I am a sailor of the river’s flow
Where the current goes, I go
The water ferries
What my legs can’t carry

Anymore
I am a wanderer of the river’s bend
Seeking but to heal and mend
The river knows my sorrows

And it flows
To safer shores
So let the river flow, fast as it can go
Oarsmen row the boat, I’m not going home

Let the river flow, let the river flow now
Oarsmen row the boat, fast as it can go
I’m not going home, let the river flow
Let the river flow, let the river flow now

I am a witch, a simple alchemist
The captain of a borrowed ship
The boat will float
What I can’t seem to hold

On my own
And in the river I can be reborn
Thinking of her silver hair
And on the water

I’m nobody’s daughter
Anymore
So let the river flow, fast as it can go
Oarsmen row the boat, I’m not going home

Let the river flow, let the river flow now
Oarsmen row the boat, fast as it can go
I’m not going home, let the river flow
Let the river flow, let the river flow now

And there’s no room for baggage
That we cannot trade for goods
We’ve got too many bottles
And we’ve got too many books

There’s no room for burdens
Save for tea and firewood
So let the river flow, fast as it can go
Oarsmen row the boat, I’m not going home

Let the river flow, let the river flow now
Oarsmen row the boat, fast as it can go
I’m not going home, let the river flow
Let the river flow, let the river flow now
