lyrics

On the Peaks Island Ferry
I reflected on the year I spent in exile
As I watched the restless water smack the bow
I thought of
All the ways I hurt the ones I love
I watched the ripples from above
And felt the guiding arms of love
Surround me
Amazing that it found me standing there

We've had every chance to reassess my crime
And how I tried to make it right to you
We've had ample time to talk
But all the friends who you hold dear to you say no
Make him pay, don't be his pet
He'll only play around you
Release the ties that bound you
Let him be

(Chorus)
On the way
To do what I think right and I'll come
All the way home
Bring it home to me
Bring it home to me

When the Peaks Island Ferry
Next sets sail for Portland harbor in the morning
I'll be riding in its cargo bay
my rented wagon filled with all my things
Burned by the year's unending stings
Yet still prepared to fly away
Without you
It just can't be about you anymore

I'm so sorry that I hurt you
I'm so sad you felt we couldn't even talk again
As the morning rays of sunshine ripple up
And catch my eyes from off the bay
I think of how you'll find your way
I hope that anger doesn't find a way
To stay inside you
I hope that love will guide you once again

(chorus)
