Along the edge the ice was closing in
There's still a path where a blue canoe might go
That eyes might hold the black, black water
That eyes might know the white, white snow

The water speaks , it swirls , it  eddies
Around the bend, ice now blocks the way
Still there's a path, through mist rising
There is a path through these dark days.

(Chorus)
(repeat first verse)
