[Verse 1]
Paddle tip kiss the lake
Not a ripple in the wake
Pines stand still on the shore
I can hear the oars
Moss on the cedar bends
Blue sky on the water's skin
You lean back, eyes half-closed
Let the whole world go
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow glide, don't rush it
Cold air in my lungs, I trust it
Every note in the reeds
Got me floating, got me free
[Chorus]
Quiet canoe
Just me and you
Quiet canoe
On the silver blue
No need to move
The night will do
Quiet canoe
Quiet canoe
[Verse 2]
Loons call out from the dark
Soft as rain on bark
We pass that fallen tree
Like a secret we agree
Mud on the dock, bare feet
Moon in the branches deep
Your hand on the seat stays warm
While the whole lake holds its form
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow glide, don't rush it
Cold air in my lungs, I trust it
Every note in the reeds
Got me floating, got me free
[Chorus]
Quiet canoe
Just me and you
Quiet canoe
On the silver blue
No need to move
The night will do
Quiet canoe
Quiet canoe
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If the world gets loud
We can drift off now
Past the reeds, past the bend
Where the silence never ends
[Chorus]
Quiet canoe
Just me and you
Quiet canoe
On the silver blue
No need to move
The night will do
Quiet canoe
Quiet canoe
