"Great Lake States"
I. "Overture" - Instrumental
II. “The Ship’s Log (Red Skies Pt. 1)”
All alone in the pilothouse
We’d lost the ship-to-shore
Michigan was rolling angry
As we passed The Door
Steaming from Superior
Through the dark of night
The lakes can cut a ship in half
We navigate by sight
Memories start to blur together
Every day the same
I remember stormy weather
But can’t recall my name
Minutes turn to hours
Hours into days
Days turn into weeks and months
Living in a haze
Huron in the morning sun
Mackinac by night
We offload in Chicago
We navigate by light
I saw it in the clouds at sunrise
That old familiar fear
The lake was crashing angry
The storm was finally here
I'd longed for the simple life
A quiet, peaceful home
Someone to take care of me
To rest my weary bones
All alone in the pilothouse
We’d lost the ship-to-shore
Starboard side was taking water
She couldn’t take much more
The stars were shining brightly
Now they’re dark as sin
We don’t know where we’re going.
We don’t know where we’ve been.
The stars were shining brightly
Now they’re dark as sin
We don’t know where we’re going
We don’t know where we’ve been
All alone in the pilothouse..
All alone in the pilothouse..
All alone in the pilothouse..
The stars were shining brightly
Now they’re dark as sin
We don’t know where we're going
We don’t know where we've been
III. "The Tempest" - Instrumental
IV. "The Survivor (Red Skies Pt. 2)" - Instrumental
V. "Adrift" - Instrumental
VI. “The Boy”
Suddenly I was found
Lifted up and carried ‘round
I’m just a plastic gnome
But now I’ve got a home
The family had a custom van
A winding road through a desert land
I got to stand by the TV
So everybody could see me
The boy and I we bonded fast
The kind of friend that would always last
Now the boy is all grown
He’s got a house of his own
But, I’ll never forget that day
When the boy carried me away
With him I will always stay
And I’ll be..
Standing next to the TV
So everybody can see me
I’ll never forget that day
When the boy carried me away
With him I will always stay
And I’ll be..
Standing next to the TV
So everybody can see me
