Ten long nights on the River Styx

While I waited for her

Verse 1

I drifted in a bucket that I found on the shore

But i'm sure was not man made

And in my fist a locket of the girl I adore

That had laid upon her grave

Now some might say it was all my fault

That I deserved it all

For I'd sat smoking in a paper boat

And I'd burnt it full of holes

Chorus

Now ten long nights on the River Styx

I waited for my girl

Just to hear her voice but i never did

And I drifted down to Hell

Verse 2

Well I got talking to a two-headed dog

And it all became clear

They said they saw a girl lost walking the shore

But she ran away in fear

So every night I wait for her

On the dark side of the shore

But little did I know she was waiting for me

While I waited for her

Chorus

Ten long nights on the River Styx

I waited for my girl

Just to hear her voice but I never did

And I drifted down to Hell
