Lake Effect

[Verse 1]
Sounds of distant thunder over Indian land
Six are sleeping in an old blue van
Here is where Paul Bunyan tipped and shattered the scale
Moss grows North upon the old milk pail

[Chorus]
Don't cry in the river
It will carry you away
Our gifts are the fables of the Lakes
Don't mourn it, the moment

[Verse 2]
Here is how your lumber goes from pine to guitar
From grove of maples into Midwest bar
Just buy a group of loggers several pitchers and wait
For all their pulp you'll find no truer page

[Chorus]
Don't cry in the river
It will carry you away
Our gifts are the fablеs of the Lakes
Don't mourn it, the momеnt

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Roots of oak, and copper in our blood
Born one night before a Huron flood
Every tale exactly as it was
We were there at the dawn

[Outro]
All the way
All the way
All the way from home
All the way
All the way from home
