Ferry Cross The Mersey Lyrics
Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
And here I'll stay
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
And here I'll stay
People around every corner

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
And here I'll stay
Ferry cross the Mersey
'cause this lands the place I love
And here I'll stay
