lyrics

Down the coastline the light is fading
In the smokestack glow
Railway yards, all the train cars waiting
Everybody, move slow

Power lines are swinging like gallows
Every blackbird's a king
Someone drowned down there in the shallows
And the water did sing

Carry me in your pale green eyes
You were always the one
That's your voice on the seagull's cry
That's your name on my tongue

I saw taillights way down in the canyon
And good lord did I fly
Wait for me, my darling companion
And the water did sigh

The hotel burned in the middle of the night
A keyhole of light on the water
And I lost my way in the snow
He said, “There's no such thing as a holy place”
And swept up the ash from the altar
And it feels like that was so long ago
Lake Erie, come home

Left my car by the side of the freeway
Watched the storm clouds turn
Lake Ontario has gone to the seaway
May she never return
