Alan Emslie - Charon Lyrics

In the dark I can see
A shadow man a boat and me
He is strong yet very old
As in the tales which were foretold
Don't make me go
I want to stay here
Don't force my hand
I still have work to do
I hear the sound of far off cries
And fear that I may leave these lies
The weakness is becoming real
There's nothing more that I can feel
Don't make me go
I want to stay here
Don't force my hand
I still have work to do
At that moment
I realized that it was fate
And nothing would stop the boat
Lonely sad man
Sit very still
I'm one of a kind
Escort you I will
Empty your pockets
And pay the price
I'm one of a kind
And I will deliver you
Charon
I will keep you warm and safe
Here with me on the river Styx
