1
The winter freeze began to thaw,so the gear was gathered and stowed
2
The paddles clenched with tentative hands were still anxious to row
3
We were as embarrassed as we were happy as we were scared
4
Of how the river would ride and how the weather fared
5
Everything was so new and everything so unprepared
6
My compass was broken and my map soiled and tattered
7
The canoe had been down this river before
8
But I could still feel your nervous heart pound as the rapids ripped the shore
9
So you can veer to steady ground, but don't be surprised
10
If there's no safe out at all and you're left stranded riverside
11
Every now and then we'd find ourselves paddling upstream
12
Caught by and eddy that wouldn't let us leave
13
If the rapids deem to rip it up then torn it shall be
14
And on one side of the river you'll stand and on the other will be me
15
And all the while the river cut its own path as does the heart its own
16
It can be dammed and routed but you cannot stop its flow
17
So you can veer to steady ground, but don't be surprised
18
When there's no safe out at all and you're left stranded riverside
