Lyrics
Canoe
Come come to the city to the city of the river
The city is running and I?m on the water
Going and coming as I?m floating under
The shade of it so quietly love
And kind summer breezes and stars up above
The light feeds upon us and colors the world
We can lay all our worries away love
And the night comes and goes away
I lie awake and smile a smile
The moon is climbing high over
As we lie in the canoe
Come come to the city to the city of the river
I?m ready to bathe in your wondrous glory
Looking in pages for words to your story
Amazed by the sight of this sky
And humming along with the nightingales
A song from the birds will bring out the angels
I pray for more time to spend oh
Come come to the city to the city of the river
