Letra de The boatman

The boatman

If i could choose the life i pleased
Then i would be a boatman
Along the canals and the rivers free
No hasty words are spoken
My only law is the river breeze
Would take me to the open seas
If i could choose the life i pleased
Then i would be a boatman

If i could choose the life i pleased
Then i would be a rover
And if the road was not for me
Then i would choose another
Across the mountains and the valleys deep
I would take these weary feet
If i could choose the life i pleased
Then i would be a rover

But these things are so hard for me
I cannot choose my own destiny
And all the things that i want to see
Are so unclean


I wish i could choose the life i please
But i am not a free man
Others choose my destiny
But my will's never broken
I know someday i will be
Everything that i dreamed i'd be
If i could choose the life i pleased
I would be a boatman.
