Detroit Lake - Frances Quinlan
Tuning: , E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Quick, the haw
k took the poo
r thing just t
o the left of
me
You were mid-s
entence when I
had to interr
upt you in ord
er to relate
Two grey strip
es flew up out
of sight
I mean one, th
e other no lon
ger struggling
[Verse 2]
"I cannot hear
you," laughin
g up the mount
ainside
Unobserved, my
voice grew in
creasingly gru
esome in the q
uiet
[Pre-Chorus]
Turns out, it
turns out
One can lose n
onetheless loo
king for witne
sses
[Chorus]
Miles from all
that's betwee
n us at stake
Algae blooms u
p in Detroit L
ake
Listening for
my turn to com
e next
Leave, the sam
e as I came in
, more or less
[Verse 3]
Across the tab
le words fly
Underdone, the
y rarely colli
de
Former wells a
re exhausted,
so you pose th
e question
"Are pigeons e
ver cannibalis
tic?"
[Pre-Chorus]
Turns out, it
turns out
Sometimes, yes
, looking for
witnesses
[Chorus]
Miles from all
that's betwee
n us at stake
Algae blooms u
p in Detroit L
ake
Listening for
my turn to com
e next
Leave, the sam
e as I came in
—
[Outro]
Miles from all
I believe is
at stake
Algae blooms u
p in Detroit L
ake
Listening for
my turn to com
e next
Leave, the sam
e as I came in
—
Leave, the sam
e as I came in
, more or less
