Overboard

Truth lives next to consequence
 It comes and goes like winter wind
 Blowing across the straits one night
 Cold as death and real as sin
 I loved her and she loved me
 Bound for what was meant to be
 But trouble travels silently
 There's a girl in Michigan
 Up in Lake Superior
 Who'll never bother us again
 Making our lives easier
 With alibis so paper thin
 Now that she is over me and
 Over you and
 Overboard
 ♪
 Guide me toward that lonely light
 It's your beacon in the night
 Now row us straight back to that shore
 With frozen hands and muscles sore
 And my back against your back
 We glide along the water black
 Both knowing there's no turning back
 There's a girl in Michigan
 Up in Lake Superior
 Who'll never bother us again
 Making our lives easier
 With alibis so paper thin
 Now that she is out of sight
 And out of mind
 And Overboard
 
 She was never gonna let us go
 Had a hold on me
 And a curse on you
 As she lay there pale upon that shore
 With her eyes gone black
 They once were blue
 She could see me for the first time
 ♪
 Now there's a girl in Michigan
 Who's overboard
 
 Truth moved on from consequence
 Just when things were making sense
 Her body washed back home to shore
 Discovered by a neighbor boy
 And now she's in our lives again
 The three of us in shadows
