Lyrics
Got me a skiff with a forty-horse tiller
Blue as the haze on a Glades' first light
Ease her out slow so she can take flight
'Groves reachin' like ghosts crawlin' out of the night
Throttle to murmur through the tangled veins
Watchin' the shore hope that passage remains
Me and my dog layin' low in the hold
Headin' for cover where the silver swims bold
Oh I'm a shallow water runner slippin' stumps in the amber tide
Runnin' the labyrinth where the ibis hide
No beacons to betray me just clouds and my mind
Secrets stowed silent where the currents combine
From the Glades' hidden pulse to the uncharted shore
Free as the silver I'm free forever more
..I'm free forevermore
Everglades breathe in the veil of old lace
Gators watchin' still from the silt's dark face
Pole through the shallows where the depths play coy
Catch a gleam in the green sun dancin' with joy
Prop stirs the silt like a thief in the bay
Free as a mullet, straight jumpin' away
But the pull of the wild lights the fire inside
In this untamed chapel where the unspoken thrives
Oh I'm a shallow water runner slippin' stumps in the amber tide
Runnin' the labyrinth where the ibis hide
No beacons to betray me just clouds and my mind
Secrets stowed silent where the currents combine
From the Glades' hidden pulse to the uncharted shore
Free as the silver I'm free forevermore
Yeah free forevermore
Last silver moon chased the whisperin' wind through the gap
It surged like a storm 'cross the shimmering map
Slipped through the fingers but the chase was the spark
That hidden bend waits drawin' me back through the dark
Shallow water runner.. fadin' from view
Yeah just me and the blue
..me and the blue
..fadin' from view
Yeah, me and the blue
..me, my dog, and you
