Stolen Canoe Lyrics

Stole the canoe from my neighbor's backyard

Carried it out through Berkshires to the river at dark

Black as a jack, spades o'er clubs

Paddled into the darkness that painted our love

Thieves only care for the guilt of being caught

The eyes fail to see, the heart can still watch

To tear the door open's to damage the lock

Can a thief trust a thief?

No he cannot

The sun was still rising, off to the left

Focused on your stomach, and watched every breath

You'd only slept an hour or two

How much can you rest in a stolen canoe?

Thieves only steal for the thrill of being caught

The eyes fail to see, the heart can still watch

To kick the door open's to ruin the lock

Can a thief love a thief?

No he cannot

No he cannot

No he cannot

So I reached for the paddle, and my eyes caught yours

Hit you 'cross the jaw like the day you'd been born

Watched your body float for an hour or two

There's only room for one

In a stolen canoe

Early in the morning, first one to rise

Look out my window and to my surprise

That canoe was gone, gone from my sight

Taken out through the Berkshires, to the river at night
