Salmon in the Sea

Ian Tyson

[Verse 1]
Follow the river down through the canyons
As it rolls through the rapids and lies quietly
Down to the forest where mist will surround you
Free for a little while as the salmon in the sea

[Verse 2]
Stars in the night like salt on black velvet
The beaches for dreamin' of how it could be
Satellite winkin' from high to remind me
Free for a little while as the salmon in the sea

[Bridge]
Everyone knows you take what you can
Tomorrow we'll worry 'bout goodwill towards man
Who will now show us which course to run?
We've shut out the stars, we've blocked out the sun

[Verse 3]
Someday I'll show you north on the coastline
Ravens fly down from the red cedar tree
There you will wander as did the cheaten[?]
Free for a little while as the salmon in the sea
