Lyrics Great Lake Swimmers

Great Lake Swimmers

Ballad of a Fisherman's Wife

What is the Hell is going on here,

Took my living and you took my friends,

This is a time-bomb, and it could happen anywhere,

It could happen right here,

It could happen to you too.

What if it was in your backyard,

What if it was way of life,

I bet you'd go crazy too,

I bet you'd loose your mind too.

Lot of people are on the edge,

Found the edge a long time ago,

You want to see real anger,

You want a sea of sorrow,

But the big thing is,

You've got to bring the love,

And we can't let go,

And we can't give up.

What if it was in your backyard,

What if it was way of life,

I bet you'd go crazy too,

I bet you'd loose your mind too.

Papers say this knocked us on our knees,

We were already on our knees,

They said the gulf was dead,

And it was never going to come back.

You better hurry up and know it,

I want to love you till the end of the line
