There is a legend of a meteor that crashed into our hills
We pulled it out and fenced it in
It helped to pay the bills
If it were known I’d never speak the true story of its past
It is melted down and buried in
years of iron slag
We beat our hearts
Only to find
That even though we overthrow, we’re always undermined
An endless stretch of highway, a lonely M-28
All of this and an empty jug
Makes me think we've met our fate
If lumber mills and iron mines were meant to make us kings
Then we’re royalty in disguise
Blackened boots and jeans
We beat our hearts
Only to find
That even though we overthrow, we’re always undermined
Think back, think back to the days
Think back, think back to our ways
Think back, think back to the days where all was lost
Where all was lost

It’s a cold, cold, cold comfort to see rivers of blue
It’s a cold, cold, cold comfort to be free from you
I dropped my pack and left it lying ‘neath the pines
I thought you were beside me or at least close behind
“When your shadow has left you,” I heard the wood thrush sing
“do not try to carry it, it’s not something you bring.”
And it’s a cold, cold, cold comfort to see rivers of blue
It’s a cold, cold, cold comfort to be free from you
The water is clear and silent as it moves along the shore
I’m much more of a carpenter than I ever was before
And when I have the chance to build a home some day
I’ll make sure it’s high above the rising Traverse Bay
And it’s a cold, cold, cold comfort to see rivers of blue
It’s a cold, cold, cold, comfort to be free from you
The winter was long and dark, “the worst” they said, “in years”
But spring always comes late, it has since the pioneers
When the memories get faint, it’s the bright ones that shine through
You never remember darkness, just the impression it left on you
