lyrics
They say the cure
For anything
Is the sea, salt water, or tears
But I've only felt the sting
They say that time
Heals anything
But it always leaves a scar
Like a cold cup coffee ring, ring
So I set
Out on the lake
Tried to cast out
My past mistakes
But they'll come back
Just you wait
Oh you're all washed up
Thought I heard 'em say
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues
So I made
That journey back
Took that map,
Folded in half
And all those outlines
Traced in black
Well they looked like lungs
In a photograph
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues
Don't try to walk on
Water babe,
You've gotta swim
Just move those legs
I won't be no
Shipwrecked bay
I'm just the wind
Getting carried away
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues
For anything
Is the sea, salt water, or tears
But I've only felt the sting
They say that time
Heals anything
But it always leaves a scar
Like a cold cup coffee ring, ring
So I set
Out on the lake
Tried to cast out
My past mistakes
But they'll come back
Just you wait
Oh you're all washed up
Thought I heard 'em say
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues
So I made
That journey back
Took that map,
Folded in half
And all those outlines
Traced in black
Well they looked like lungs
In a photograph
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues
Don't try to walk on
Water babe,
You've gotta swim
Just move those legs
I won't be no
Shipwrecked bay
I'm just the wind
Getting carried away
And if I ever make it out of this country's interior
I guess I'll still be working on the Lake Superior blues

Romance 126
by Snow Mantled LoveA soon to be bedroom pop classic, with all the nuances of Sigur Ros, and the fragile modern beauty of Keaton Henson. This record is haunting and nostalgic in its closeness.
