Hudson Bay

from Poetry and Protest by Tom Alter

/

lyrics

Crossed the bridge from Michigan
Entered into Canada again
Take straight the road into Ontario
Heading east, intention north

If we reach the Hudson Bay
Before we even know our way
And if we reach the highway's end
Either way, we'll be okay

Don't know what we're escaping from
But I know that this has stopped being fun
It's probably that we met so young
That we stayed together for this long

If we reach the Hudson Bay
Before we even know our way
And if we reach the highway's end
Either way, we'll be okay

If we meet the water's edge does it prove there's something left
Or have we traveled far enough
Even if we make it through the northern point we're heading to
Haven't we traveled far enough

It was only by an accident
That you haven't already left
So I'll be the one to take the step
I'll be the one you can tag as bad

And if we reached the Hudson Bay
Before we even knew our way
And if we reached the highway's end
Either way, we'll be okay
