The mist across the lake In pink and blue and gray The sunset giving way to the first stars of the evening Drifting peacefully Grateful just to be alive The beauty of this place The moonlight on your face The magnitude of space is blowing my mind Happy you're with me and Grateful just to be alive Just to be alive, alive I'm so grateful, just to be alive The stillness of the slough
The gentle wake of our canoe The sonnet of the loon Is almost other worldly Floating aimlessly Grateful just to be alive Just to be alive, alive Yes I'm grateful, just to be alive The world outside is beckoning We'll ignore the call As we hide away in this healing bay Least until the fall Oh, oh , ahhh, oh Yeah
