Jane Godfrey: Music
Though I Lay My Paddle Down
(Jane Godfrey)
See News/Journal
THOUGH I LAY MY PADDLE DOWN
OF THIS LAND, WE'RE SONS AND DAUGHTERS
PRECIOUS FLOW'RS OF MOTHER EARTH
WE ARE CREATURES BORN OF WOODS AND WATERS
AND IN DEATH WE SHALL NOT THIRST
chorus
THOUGH I LAY MY PADDLE DOWN
I AM CALLED TO TRAVEL ON
MY SOUL WILL FILL WITH BLISS AS I RISE UP WITH THE MIST
AND DRIFT AWAY, DRIFT AWAY, DRIFT AWAY
OF DEAR FRIENDS, I'VE KNOWN NO SHORTAGE
MY FAMILY'S LOVE HAS BEEN MY STEADY OAR
WITH THE BURDON SHARED TO EASE THE PORTAGE
I HAVE REACHED THE SWEETEST SHORE
chorus
WHEN MY TIME HAS COME FOR LEAVIN'
PLACE A WREATH UPON MY BOW
TAKE MY HEART AND HANDS I WILL NOT NEED THEM
WHEN I LAY MY PADDLE DOWN
Chorus
