Lyrics
1. Batchawana Bay
Laughing shiver, splashing hands
Happy shadows on the rippling sand
They cross the world between you and I
Little lifeboat dips and rises on
Sweetwater waves
Swimming with our babes
I never want to leave Batchawana Bay
Heaven’s light on their smiles
Same one we wore back when we walked the aisle
Now we’re catchers in the bight, after all
They don’t know how soon the bottom falls
Smoke rising from the white pines
Day dripping down a golden sky
I close my eyes and try to hold on
Keep it for tomorrow cause it’s turn in time
