about

This song is about a very special river in Maine that I was very lucky to stay by.

One cold, crisp, grey October morning, completely out of season for such activity, we took a canoe out on the river and had one of the most peacefully beautiful times in my whole existence.

lyrics

This morning
let's spend this morning on the river
and we did
we spent the morning on the river
plot the course and paddle true
in this shoe box made for two
on the river.

let's see just how far we can go
time's not turning us around
this place is all I need to know

This New England air
sharp and fresh out on the river
and except for our canoe
all is peaceful on the river
smoking chimney on the blank faced home
the only clue we're not alone
on the river.

and you're telling stories from the back
wandering would we survive out here
in the case of a zombie attack

October's grey light
it's another world out on the river
and from now on
I spend every morning on the river
nothing else will bother me
now I know tomorrow I will be
on the river

and although by now I'm miles away
a busy life, a happy home, an ok job
in my mind it's there that I will stay
