Eastern Standard Time

[Verse 1]
The deepest dark water and the rockiest shore
The tall white pine and the iron ore
Windfall apples with a coat of rime
Eastern Standard Time

[Verse 2]
Ironwood to Sault Ste. Marie
The great Gitchi-Gami, the Superior sea
The copper summit and the Dead River climb
Eastern Standard Time

[Verse 3]
Far below the reach of the cold daylight
Shipwrecks hold their secrets tight
Somewhere down there is an old pipeline
Eastern Standard Time

[Verse 4]
The light of the stars and the falling snow
We shiver in the still of the sweet dark cold
The Three Fires burn from the old bloodlines
And beneath the water as dark as wine
The past is sleeping but still it shines
Eastern Standard Time
