Das sind die Original-Lyrics von "Boat On The River" von Styx

Take me back to my boat on the river,

I need to go down, I need to calm down.

Take me back to my boat on the river,

And I won't cry out any more.

Time stands still as I gaze in her waters,

She eases me down, touching me gently

With the waters that flow past my boat on the river,

So I don't cry out anymore.

Oh, the river is wide,

The river, it touches my life like the waves on the sand,

And all roads lead to Tranquility Base1

Where the frown on my face disappears.

Take me down to my boat on the river,

And I won't cry out anymore.

Oh, the river is deep,

The river, it touches my life like the waves on the sand,

And all roads lead to Tranquility Base1

Where the frown on my face disappears.

Take me down to my boat on the river,

I need to go down,

Won't you let me go down.

Take me back to my boat on the river,

And I won't cry out anymore,

And I won't cry out anymore,

And I won't cry out anymore...
