lyrics

row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream

The night above, the stars below,
winking in your wake;
the depths, the stream, the moonlight gleam
your nameless thirst to slake.

row, row, row your boat
to the water's edge
night is falling, the moon is calling,
"time to get some rest"

Take off your soiled clothes
and watch the water pass;
the banks, the sky, it passes by;
find comfort in its grasp.

visions of another world
haunt you in your sleep
where kindness wanes and chaos reigns
and God herself does weep

so waking up while it's still dark
you paddle onwards slow
sweats and shivers fade down the river
and only good things grow

so you row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, verily, verily
this life is but a dream

Whatever meets you in the end,
when you have run aground,
if dream or hell, what all you've felt
is life, by all you've found.
