The Lyrics

Has anyone figured out where I'm going with this?
A stormy night
We would meet the witch, November
Ship was alone
Lost without our radar, Lake Superior
On a giant freighter loaded down with ore
We are the Fitz
The great Fitzgerald

Sudden squalls
A rogue wave high and mighty
Surge starts to penetrate
We're bound by ties of friendship, Captain earned our trust
We've done our best but this trip is a bust
Down goes the Fitz
Bye-bye Fitzgerald!

The hinges fail
We're way to far from shore
Welds are splitting from the torsion
Too late we now discover, she lacks sufficient strength
The metal plates are too thin for her length
Down goes the Fitz
Broken in pieces

The wreck is found
With their sonar, she's been located
All her cargo it is scattered
An investigation, what could be the cause?
They blame the storm, they blame designer flaws
There lies the Fitz,
Resting in silence

But the mystery remains
And the memory never dies
