Fast Canoe

If you're on a journey cause you had to work things out

Take your time to get it right

And I hope you erase all your doubt

If you had a notion

You're gonna sail across the ocean

In a boat built for one

Keep dry and stay near the sun

One thing I remember is

You never did a bad thing to me

I'll build a boat for two and I'll row it for you

I'm waiting for a postcard that you won't write

Just hoping there's a chance that you might

I'm clinging to a memory that we might share

Just trying to send a thought through the air

If you have a message

You want me to pass it along

Find a way to get it through

And I promise I'll whisper for you

But if you're undercover

You'd better leave your briefcase behind

You won't need a lock or a key to keep what you find

If you get in trouble and you need to make your escape

I'll carve a fast canoe and I'll send it to you

I'm waiting for a postcard that you won't write

Just hoping there's a chance that you might

I'm clinging to a memory that we might share

Just trying to send a thought through the air

I'm looking for a metaphor that you might like

But I can't find the one that you deserve to hear
