[Verse 1]
From all the hurt I'm suffering
From all the harm I see
From all these eyes of emptiness
And all those evil deeds
Where the rainbow starts to end
Across the swell, behind the sea
Where the rainbow starts to end
Oh, let the currents carry me

[Chorus 1]
Take me away, boatman
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
Let me go astray

[Verse 2]
From all the love I never got
And all the care I lacked
From all the blows that rained on me
But I won't count back
Where the pain begins to end
Across the swell, behind the sea
Where the pain begins to end
Oh, let the currents carry me

[Chorus 1]
Take me away, boatman
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
Let me go astray

[Chorus 2]
Take me away, boatman
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
Take me away, boatman

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]
Take me away, boatman
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
Let me go astray

[Chorus 2]
Take me away, boatman
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
Take me away, boatman

[Chorus 3]
Take me away, boatman
(Take me away, boatman)
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
(Take me away, boatman)
Let me go astray

[Chorus 3]
Take me away, boatman
(Take me away, boatman)
Far, far away
Take me away, boatman
(Take me away, boatman)
Take me away, boatman

[Chorus/Verse 1]
(Take me away, boatman)
From all the hurt I'm suffering
(Take me away, boatman)
(Far, far away)
From all the harm I see
(Take me away, boatman)
From all these eyes of emptiness
(Take me away, boatman)

[Chorus/Verse 1]
(Take me away, boatman)
From all the hurt I'm suffering
(Take me away, boatman)
(Far, far away)
From all the harm I see
(Take me away, boatman)
From all these eyes of emptiness
(Take me away, boatman)

[Outro]
Take me away, boatman
Take me away, boatman
