| Notes： | |
| Jt on sony.com：boatman is my brother livingston's song. | |
| I've always assumed it was about how he and maggie saved their marriage but i never really asked. in my family we like to save the intimate stuff for the general public. | |
| Hearts were exploding around us | |
| As we drifted south down the bay | |
| The gray up above and gray down below | |
| Left us with nothing to say | |
| So we drifted along in silence | |
| 'til the tickle of life trickled in | |
| And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand | |
| We were catching fire again | |
| Chorus: | |
| Oh boatman, i am the river | |
| I am the mountain and the sea | |
| Oh boatman, taker and giver | |
| Can you deliver me | |
| I would forever run free | |
| Yeah we finally caught up with legends | |
| We were walking along side by side | |
| We worked out a plan | |
| To go out hand in hand | |
| But the long trail just wasn't that wide | |
| The water around us was freezing | |
| We just laughed and threw ourselves in | |
| And although we were old | |
| The sting of that cold | |
| Pumped up the feeling, here it is again | |
| Repeat chorus | |
| Oh i'm a message in a bottle | |
| Drifting along on a deep blue sea | |
| Waiting for some foreign shore | |
| Ready for something to be | |
| No longer afraid of falling | |
| We cut the strings to the sky | |
| We found level ground | |
| And we put ourselves down | |
| Amazing we all didn¹t die | |
| We took each moment as given | |
| By second by second they came | |
| The ice and the sun and the thundering guns | |
| Good god i was finally sane | |
| Repeat chorus |
