"Fast Canoe" Lyrics

if you're on a journey
because you had to work things out
take your time to get it right
and i hope you erase all your doubts
if you had a notion
you gonna sail across the ocean
in a boat built for one
keep driving and stay near the sun
one thing i remember
you never did a bad thing to me
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 for the chance that you might
i'm clinging to a memory that we might share
just trying to send the thought through

if you have a message
you want me to pass it along
find a way to get it through
and i'll promise i'll whisper for you
but if you're undercover
you 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
i'm looking for a metaphor that you might like
i can't find the word that you deserve to hear
