Ride The Shadows (2006)   Staten Island Ferry Just like the river has no choice When it rolls down the mountainside And it flows through the valley wide If he knew that heaven could hear his voice When he cried in the wounded night He could hold all those thoughts in line But if he believed it’s never as bad as it seems What was he doing on the Staten Island Ferry Staring into the deep All of those birds are flying south tonight They know the way back home, they just follow right On the wing of the one beside If he knew that heaven would steer him right When he fell behind and out of site He could find his way on the darkest night But if he believed that God was awake in his dreams What was he doing on the Staten Island Ferry Diving into the deep Bridge: You say he should fly over to India again Unwrap himself, disrobe, shed those sins On the top of the mountain they don’t know what shame is But he’d come back wearing that same skin That very same skin It’s like it’s written within him and it’s ancient and new It’s the story he’s been anchored to Now it’s dragging him down in the cold dark blue If he knew that heaven would see him through He could float like light from the lonely moon Out across the night, back to his own bedroom But if he believed that God had the will to relieve What was he doing on the Staten Island Ferry Sinking in the deep
