The Lyrics
(instrumental opening)
They head out in the evening.
And they ain't go nowhere to go.
Don't hear from them in the morning.
I go to bed -- Where are they? Don't know?
I ain't nothin' but tired
of figuring out where's that boat?
Hey there, baby...
did you hear the song Lightfoot wrote?
You can't stop the water.
You can't stop the water, it's made its mark.
This iron ore freighter
it is gonna be sinking in the dark.
Messages keep getting clearer.
"Holding our own," but he lied through his face.
Bad moves from freighter's steerer.
Didn't know Whitefish Bay was the place!
And they ain't gettin' nowhere!
They're just dying on the Eddie Fitz!
The ship is lying out somewhere.
Baby, I just don't know where it is.
You can't stop the water.
You can't stop the water, it's made its mark.
This iron ore freighter
it is gonna be sinking in the dark.
The waves around, getting higher.
There's a witch in November, yes sirree.
It's not a funeral pyre.
Come on, baby, might as well be!
Still in the church in Motown.
And bells chime twenty-nine times, all right.
They say you gotta stay brave now.
Hey, baby, I'm just about shaking tonight!
They're dying on Superior!
Hear the song, see the film, read book!
Inside the lake's interior.
Only one survived, 'cause he's sick, the cook.
You can't stop the water.
Wives and sons and daughters, with broken hearts.
This iron ore freighter
don't you know it was sinking in the dark.
You can't stop the water.
Took the one bigger than most, tore it apart.
This iron ore freighter
don't you know it was sinking in the dark.
Don't you know it was sinking in the dark.
Don't you know it was sinking in the dark.
Don't you know it was sinking in the dark.
Hey, baby!
(saxophone fadeout)
