The Lyrics
(instrumental opening)
Whitefish Bay is waiting for a ship
if it could get ahead
of the cold November gale.
Between the waves of Lake Superior
twenty-six kay of iron
she had as she set sail.
Fitzgerald's trek was ending in a wreck.
All the iron ore, it sank right down.
Someone steered the ship into the rain.
I don't think the ship could take it.
They were never going to make it.
And they'll never reach the Cleveland port again.
Oh no.
I recall the ship's sick bay and mess
filling up with waves
soon up well past their knees.
The widows and the babies, tears in hands
and the chimes of old church bells
echo through the trees.
Fitzgerald's trek was ending in a wreck.
All the iron ore, it sank right down.
Someone steered the ship into the rain.
I don't think the ship could take it.
They were never going to make it.
And they'll never reach the Cleveland port again.
Oh no.
(instrumental break)
There will be another song for me.
In sun, a... season.
There will be one again, naturally.
It will be pleasin'.
I will write with heart that still is warm
and never let you catch me mock Kirk Douglas' son.
And after all the loves of my life
after all the loves of my life
Catherine's still the one.
I will take keyboard into my hands
and I will... use it.
You will have some patience with my songs
and you will lose it.
I will have the things that I desire
and my passion flows, and running, never checked.
And after all the songs of my life
oh, after all the songs of my life
I'll write more about this ship.
The one that was wrecked.
(long, long instrumental break)
Fitzgerald's trek was ending in a wreck!
All the iron ore, it sank right down!
Someone steered the ship into the rain!
I don't think the ship could take it!
They were never going to make it!
And they'll never reach the Cleveland port again!
Oh no!
Oh no!
No!
No!
No!
No!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
