Ferry Cross The Mersey
Journey of Love: Ferrying Across the Mersey's Depths
Lyrics
Life goes on day after day
Life continues day by day
Hearts torn in every way
Hearts are broken in various ways
So ferry, cross the Mersey
Invokes the action of ferrying across the Mersey
'Cause this land's the place I love
Expressing love for the homeland
And here I'll stay
Commitment to staying in this beloved place
People they rush everywhere
People are in a hurry everywhere
Each with their own secret care
Each person carries their own hidden concerns
So ferry, cross the Mersey
Reiterates the call to cross the Mersey
And always take me there
Emphasizes the desire to be taken to the cherished place
The place I love
Reaffirmation of love for the mentioned place
People around every corner
Observation of people all around
They seem to smile and say
People appear friendly and welcoming
"We don't care what your name is, boy
Indifference to the speaker's identity, expressing acceptance
We'll never turn you away"
Assurance that they won't be rejected
So I'll continue to say
Reiteration of the commitment to staying
Here I always will stay
Further commitment to remaining in the beloved place
So ferry, cross the Mersey
Repeats the call to cross the Mersey
'Cause this land's the place I love
Reaffirms love for the homeland
And here I'll stay
Reiterates the commitment to stay
And here I'll stay
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's determination to stay
Here I'll stay
Final declaration of the intention to remain in the beloved place
