New Blue Canoe
© 2001 Bryan Masters
G
Your pretty eyes
Brown and wide
G7
I see the river start to rise
C
And I know for sure
G
That your heart is gone
Movin' on
Headin' straight for someone on
D D7
The other shore
G
So you're paddlin' away
In your new blue canoe
C
Well, keep your matches dry ...
A7
Whatever you do
G
You can set your course
Em
By the sound of this voice
C D G C G D
I'll be waitin' for you
G
Every drop of rain left in the sky
C
Won't wash you back to shore
G
And I can tell by that
look in your eye
D D7
You ain't really here anymore
G
So I'll set you afloat
on a river of tears
C A7
Sit on the bank and watch you
G D C G
As you're paddlin' away in your new blue canoe
So I tend my fire
Gettin' tired
Guessin' that you're not inspired
to come back to me
It's been a month or two
I'm guessing you
Settled into something new
And happy and free
But you might just
come paddlin' up
In your slightly used blue canoe
With your matches all wet
And mud in your shoes
So I throw another log on
The fire, and doggone, girl
I sure have been missin' you
