Overboard

Truth lives next to consequence

It comes and goes like winter wind

Blowing across the straits one night

Cold as death and real as sin

I loved her and she loved me

Bound for what was meant to be

But trouble travels silently

There's a girl in Michigan

Up in Lake Superior

Who'll never bother us again

Making our lives easier

With alibis so paper thin

Now that she is over me and

Over you and

Overboard

Guide me toward that lonely light

It's your beacon in the night

Now row us straight back to that shore

With frozen hands and muscles sore

And my back against your back

We glide along the water black

Both knowing there's no turning back

There's a girl in Michigan

Up in Lake Superior

Who'll never bother us again

Making our lives easier

With alibis so paper thin

Now that she is out of sight

And out of mind

And Overboard

She was never gonna let us go

Had a hold on me

And a curse on you

As she lay there pale upon that shore

With her eyes gone black

They once were blue

She could see me for the first time

Now there's a girl in Michigan

Who's overboard

Truth moved on from consequence

Just when things were making sense

Her body washed back home to shore

Discovered by a neighbor boy

And now she's in our lives again

The three of us in shadows
