white horse lake

lyrics

up in White Horse Lake
we swam in the dark
and caught some rainbow trout
you should've seen
the joy in her heart

and down on the Indian trails
my sisters got scared and lost
but my dad found them
underneath the oak trees and moss

and maybe there's no reason
to fight
and baby
we're alright

out past Gavin's Point
at the lookout in july
i saw and felt
the holy spirit come alive

just north of Brainerd
we got drunk and lied
the next morning
we're full of shame
with nowhere to hide

and maybe
there's no fight to fight
and baby
we're alright

beneath the escarpment
the Carmelite was crying
on Christmas eve

and i was in the hinterlands
hunting for the things
hunters seek

and can someone
get a hold
of the iconographer?

just to capture
these mystics
shrouded in the conifers

and maybe
there's no fight to fight
and baby were alright

up in White Horse Lake
we swam in the dark
and caught some rainbow trout
you should've seen
the joy in her heart
