Great Lakes Lovin'

I want a Great Lakes kind of love

A love that’s wide and deep

A love where I can see the bottom

But the bottom is soft on my feet

I want a Great Lakes kind of love

Clean and refreshing

I jump in naked and shout

“WOO! That’s Love!”

I want a love that reflects the most beautiful moments of the day, that roars with injustice against the shores when the winds aren’t behaving

A Love that preserves secrets

And if I sink too deep

It will preserve me too

Keep me

Until I am ready to come to the surface

I want a Great Lakes kind of love

Where people sit on its edge and whisper

“Wow, that’s something”

I want a Great Lakes kind of love

Not a mountain to climb

But water to sit by on a quiet night

But water to slip into slowly

Mountains are a nice affair

But I want a Great Lakes kind of love
