    Lyrics
    Michipicoten ŠJames Gordon 2001

    The moon was an artist, with a brush made from its beams,
    And with the lake as its canvas , it painted our dreams.
    Along the magic coastline towards Agawa Bay
    Through the radio silence you could hear the waves
    Lapping up against the black rocks along the shore
    Beating out an ancient rhythm, the heartbeat, the core
    Of that northern Superior night
    Of that northern Superior night.

    Secrets were revealed to us, though not a word was spoken,
    All the way from Grand Marais, the spell could not be broken
    The light through the birches flickered like flames
    And the wind through those trees whispered a name
    With a voice we both had long ago forgotten
    calling Michipicoten, Michipicoten
    Of that northern Superior night
    Of that northern Superior night.

    For one timeless moment, this car was a canoe,
    And this highway was a river, taking me and you
    Out towards the waters of that great inland sea
    Where it seemed that in this weary world there was only you and me.
    In that northern Superior night
    In that northern Superior night.


    The moon was an artist, with a brush made from its beams,
    And with the lake as its canvas , it painted our dreams.
