On the Minnehaha

ON THE MINNEHAHA

Pulled by a gale and siren song

To the only place where she belongs

Only the stars will guide her now

Only wind will show her how

Chorus:

On the Minnehaha

Can you hear the laughing waters

Hahahaha

She sails into the sun

On the Minnehaha

Sing a song for the ocean’s daughter

Hahahaha

A new day’s begun

This boat is strong, she will be fast

Now lash the helm and climb the mast

Pull all the reef knots out of the main

Then let her have her way again.

Chorus

Bridge:

Red sky morning mercury falling

Distant thunder soon to be calling

See the lighting talking tough from cloud to cloud

Keep a steady hand on the helm

You paid the price to cross this realm

You know the way the wind is moving now

This dream will take you round the world

This boat will shape you like a pearl

This sextant on the morning sun

Will take you there before anyone

Chorus

Hahahaha…
