Pollen Jesus - November 10th 1975

Seventeen more miles to Whitefish Bay
With waves of more than twenty feet crashing
Winds of more than sixty miles lashing
Gale against the mighty Fitz
And she's kneeling
At the gates of heaven in a perfect storm
Seventeen more miles to Whitefish Bay
Seventeen more miles to Whitefish Bay
Straining under the last wave bleeding
A giant wave that never washed away
Slamming into the darkened depths
She's dying
God was waiting at the bottom of the lake
Seventeen more miles to Whitefish Bay
Seventeen more miles to Whitefish Bay
Silently below the waves she's sleeping
Five hundred and thirty timeless icy feet below
Gone for more than forty years now dreaming
At the bottom of Lake Superior
Seventeen miles too far from Whitefish Bay
Seventeen miles too far from Whitefish Bay
