Going away, going away, going away, going away
Going away, going away, going away, going away
He's waiting for the last canoe
Can't sleep easy
Water's waves too calm
Pours coffee down the vein
Helping out around the house
Breaking bones for a friend
His time will come, but he will wait
A sign he cannot read
Spending time with the birds
The only creature worth knowing
Simpler times made him a man
Didn't pack a bag
Going out for a drive
Found an old canoe
Water's warm for a ride
Memories slip away
He paddles out with grace
He leaves the shore to its own
Going away, going away, going away, going away
Going away, going away, going away, going away
Going away, going away, going away, going away
