lyrics

High on the Great lakes
Big tanker holding in the bay
See how the light breaks
Dawning crown of fierce grey

Bold faced Superior
Over your shoulders fall the streams
Now and again memory,
Now and again tides now and again dreams

Cast their reflection of my face upon your own
Give me direction, I am thrashing on the stone
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Shattered by instinct, reason and doubt
Love will never win
It’s just the only way out
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Where are you going?
What is this river that you’ve spoken?
Ancient and knowing
That the heart is better broken

Bodies of water
Exiles of years
Seeking our level
Returning our tears
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Shattered by instinct, reason and doubt
Love will never win
It’s just the only way out
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
The truth is burning
And they’re ransoming the water
The streets are full of tears
An the future is full of martyrs

Oh freedom, oh my great friend
How I wish you could stay
Whish we didn’t have to contend
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Shattered by instinct, reason and doubt
Love will never win
It’s just the only way out

Northbound and capable of
Superior love
Northbound and capable of
This Superior love
