Two Coins for the Crossing
TitanChord
Got two coins in the bottom of my coat
Got the river up where I know the boat
Got a name the ferryman don't ask
Got a face that don't need a mask
And the water moves the way it moves
And the dock don't have nothing to prove
And the man with the pole don't speak
And he don't give back what he keeps
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing
Paid in full, paid in iron
Took the fare and took the silence
Going where the water's higher
Some folks get a steady ride
Some folks pray to make the tide
I got a coat with two cold coins
And the river knows the man it joins
And the water moves the way it moves
And the dock don't have nothing to prove
And the man with the pole don't speak
And he don't give back what he keeps
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing
Paid in full, paid in iron
Took the fare and took the silence
Going where the water's higher
Tell my mother I went steady
Tell my brother I went clean
Tell the woman that I knew her
Tell the boy what it means
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing
Paid in full, paid in iron
Took the fare and took the silence
Going where the water's higher
Going where the water's higher
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Got two coins in the bottom of my coat Got the river up where I know the boat Got a name the ferryman don't ask Got a face that don't need a mask
And the water moves the way it moves And the dock don't have nothing to prove And the man with the pole don't speak And he don't give back what he keeps
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing Paid in full, paid in iron Took the fare and took the silence Going where the water's higher
Some folks get a steady ride Some folks pray to make the tide I got a coat with two cold coins And the river knows the man it joins
And the water moves the way it moves And the dock don't have nothing to prove And the man with the pole don't speak And he don't give back what he keeps
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing Paid in full, paid in iron Took the fare and took the silence Going where the water's higher
Tell my mother I went steady Tell my brother I went clean Tell the woman that I knew her Tell the boy what it means
Two coins for the crossing, two coins for the crossing Paid in full, paid in iron Took the fare and took the silence Going where the water's higher Going where the water's higher
