Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
Now all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters. |
I'm just curious - have you ever heard Simon Bar Sinister's cover of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? It would rant in the top 5 cover songs I've ever heard.
