Lakes Of Canada

by The Innocence Mission


Look for me another day
I feel that I could change,
I feel that I could change
There's a sudden joy that's like
a fish, a moving light;
I thought I saw it
Rowing on the lakes of Canada.

Oh laughing man, what have you won?
Don't tell me what cannot be done
My little mouth, my winter lungs
Don't tell me what cannot be done,
Cannot be done
(da dee da dee da dee da dah, da dee dah dah)

Walking in the cirlce of the flashlight,
Someone starts to sing, to join in
Talk of loneliness in quiet voices
I am shy but you can reach me
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada

Oh laughing man, what have you won?
don't tell me what cannot be done
my little mouth, my winter lungs
don't tell me what cannot be done
Cannot be done
(da dee da dee da dee da dah, da dee dah dah)

Look for me another time
Give me another day
I feel that I could change

And, yes I'll be a sylvan sky
Feeling no pain
I feel that I could change

Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
Rowing on the lakes of Canada
