We left our cares on the mainland

Out there in the great Lake Superior

Right across the bay

With every passing day

It was all a blur, but there we were

We left our shadows on the lake shore

We soaked up all the sights

And sat around the fire

We hit the hay beneath the Milky Way

And there we were
