Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a man of confused and sad nature
Thought no one loved him, was not true
He said he was a lost soul, didn't fit in anywhere
Didn't know where to turn or who to turn to
[Verse 2]
Oh, there's a lost soul coming down the road
And somewhere between two worlds
With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips
We'll row the boat to the far shore
Row the boat of love, lost soul
[Verse 3]
Ever since, oh, I can remember
We tried to ease the pain
Took him in when he needed some shelters
Tried to make him feel he was one of us again
And there was one day, oh, I can remember
He sat alone with a pencil in his hand
All day long he drew careful on the paper
In the end, just a picture of a man
[Verse 4]
Of a lost soul coming down the road
And somewhere between two worlds
With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips
We'll row the boat to the far shore
Row the boat of love, lost soul
[Verse 5]
Oh, dear Mary, do you remember
The day we went walking downtown?
As I recall, it was in early December
After school had just let out
When I see you on the street in the twilight
I may tip my hat and keep my head down
You show me love, but maybe I don't deserve it
I've been called, but not, but not been found
[Verse 6]
Well, there's a lost soul coming down the road
And somewhere between two worlds
With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips
We'll row the boat to the far shore
Row the boat of love, lost soul
