Song Description

The text is about two different spots on the coast of Lake Superior. The chord progression runs twice through the circle of fourths, a kind of play on dominant (or "Superior") relationships.

Lyrics

The waves [are] crashing down to the edge of this stretch of rock I meet them on
Just barely hidden under the clear water
The dancing sun on its surface [is] interrupted by a crash of tide
It covers me too, I fall and let the waves follow suit.

The coastline is a guide to different rocks
Not submerged, they rise up from the lake
Still and majestic above the clear water
The sun's solemn gray from behind the clouds covers the entire lake
I climb those rocks anyway, and let the waves follow suit.
