James Taylor - Boatman Lyrics
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 till the tickle of life trickled in.
And the rhythm began in the hiss of the sand, we were catching fire again.
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, 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.
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.
Waiting for some foreign shore, ready for something to be.
No longer afraid of falling, we cut the strings to the sky.
We found lever ground and we put ourselves down, amazing we all didn't die.
We took each moment as given, by second they came.
The ice and the sun and the thundering guns, good God I was finally sane.
Oh boatman, I am the river, I am the mountain and the sea.
Oh boatman, taker and giver, can you deliver me?
Oh holy roller, 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.

James Taylor Boatman Comments
JT deserves demi god status along with Joni. They loved each other and were equals. Both did amazing work later too., JT is going strong. My young girlfriend loves him. He is timeless and wise. Kind of a mentor in life. All depends on your point of view. Shower the people. Leave me alone I am happy. Follow your bliss and enjoy the moment.

I've been blessed to see him many times. Even did a bucket list concert where I got to meet him...just Wow...
He's sort of like a handsome teacher that you'd get in high school or something, isn't he?
+Natasha Kershaw you are right!! Especially a teacher of literature I think! I got to know JT listening to his live CD One Man Band with my dad. Here James plays in a theater in his hometown so I figure him out as a man you could meet going to work or to church, dont you think?

Found a song with my last name, nice
This summer I lost the one I thought I would go out with, hand in hand. I wish the boatman could deliver me.
