Great Lake Swimmers - Merge, A Vessel, A Harbour Lyrics

Fantastic song!
Grab a whiskey and relax, think about life and the missing ones.


/Sweden

Best Song 🤘

Lyrics:
Merge, a vessel, a harbour
A perfect union
Of gift and reception
Each an eye
On the same face

Loss and gain
Fly into the mouth of the ground
Six feet under
Thanks to some failure
Fly into the mouth of the ground
Six feet under

One for the night
One for the dark
Taste each other
For a moment, then goodbye
Hold her eyes
Share the same air
Oh lay it down
Oh lay it bare

I'm speachless
Naked as a fiery sunset
You turn, not fleeting
Destroyed not complete
A perfect cocophony
Rising like vapour
Solid and liquid
Awkward and trapping
Stolen but paid for

Legs and knees and ankles and toes
When it burns an old enemy flows
Legs and knees and ankles and toes
When it burns an old enemy flows

Gathered and strewn
From this altitude
To some other moon
Wearing false armour
And useless shields
Failed to exist

Crying out and into the streets
They are always prepared for the cries
Prepared for the worst
Crying outloud at the untold
They are transfixed but not transformed

Stop accomodating echoes
Into these hard-pressed streets
Into these well-travelled streets
Into these hard-pressed streets

Hauntingly beautiful..

Varcharian

Memory Phill Harris (captain)

Deadliest catch is awesome!

RIP Capt. Phil

I so hear a Neil Young influence absolutely fantastic!

@wattch Yeah! Yer right! That's awesome.

Needs to cover heart of gold!!

Neil Young-esque

Zach Hitchcock he should do a heart of gold cover

I remember the first time I heard this, it played on my Pandora station and I remember I didn't move the entire time it played...I was totally transfixed and I felt like I didn't rejoin the physical world until the fade out of this song

Amazing song and really nice video, although on the downside I don't think this video captures what I believe is the point of the song. It's beautiful anyway.

This was released just after the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster and I believe that's what it's about. Correct me if I'm wrong Tony :) It's not only a haunting tribute to the lives of those that try to explore and understand our existence in this universe, but also the actions and reactions of those of us planted here on Terra firma.

wanna cry :(

If anyone has the urge to push the dislike button, please. Dislike my comment instead.

Great song

for me this song will always be connected with Phill Harris.

This song is the embodiment of my soul...

The video makes the song even more powerful:)Beautiful!!
