Pounding the Gunwales

Winter days take hint to leave, many months since last this way
When I see her face I do believe I'm where I need to stay

Shattered bank takes to glisten, tree tops bend hard sway
Hear the wind whistling, whistling 'til night kills day

When I come around the bend I paddle like hell

Pounding the gunwales shooting rapids from the start
Pounding the gunwales to your heart
Pounding the gunwales split valley in two
Pounding the gunwales to you

Late this year ice slipped away, pull is stronger than the push
Before black flies come to stay water snakes high through the bush

Weighed down hull dipping low, it's a hard line to track
River take me where I need to go, get the city dogs off my back

When I come around the bend I paddle like hell

Pounding the gunwales shooting rapids from the start
Pounding the gunwales to your heart
Pounding the gunwales split valley in two
Pounding the gunwales to you

My natures calm the city turned wild, merengued is the man to a rage
Distilled strong from roots of mild, beast not the builder proves the cage

I've felt it again, cold steel get hot now I'm solid in the stern
It's one eye closed for the shot puts death to the delay in my return

When I come around the bend I paddle like hell

Pounding the gunwales

Pounding the gunwales to you

Gunwales

Gunwales

I paddle like hell

Gunwales

I paddle like hell
