|
I took myself a blue canoe |
|
And I floated like a leaf |
|
Dazzling, dancing half enchanted |
|
In my Merlin sleep |
|
Crazy was the feeling |
|
Restless were my eyes |
|
Insane, they took the paddles |
|
My arms they paralyzed |
|
So where to now, St. Peter? |
|
If it's true I'm in your hands |
|
I may not be a Christian |
|
But I've done all one man can |
|
I understand I'm on the road |
|
Where all that was is gone |
|
So where to now, St. Peter? |
|
Show me which road I'm on |
|
Which road I'm on |
|
It took a sweet young foreign gun |
|
This lazy life is short |
|
Something for nothing always ending |
|
With a bad report |
|
Dirty was the daybreak |
|
Sudden was the change |
|
In such a silent place as this |
|
Beyond the rifle range |
|
So where to now, St. Peter? |
|
If it's true I'm in your hands |
|
I may not be a Christian |
|
But I've done all one man can |
|
I understand I'm on the road |
|
Where all that was is gone |
|
So where to now, St. Peter? |
|
Show me which road I'm on |
|
Which road I'm on |
|
I took myself a blue canoe |
