Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still see that gate
Great Lakes in the rain
Boots on the concrete
My name on the chain
Morning roll call
Cold breath in the air
Young and half-ready
Trying not to stare
[Pre-Chorus]
Time flew hard
Like a train at dawn
I blinked once
And the days were gone
[Chorus]
Great Lakes, take me back
Great Lakes, take me back
I miss those days
When I knew my track
Great Lakes, hold me close
Great Lakes, hold me close
Time moves on
And it hits like smoke
[Verse 2]
Mess hall trays
And the hum of the line
Old jokes passing
From rack to rack in time
Letters from home
Folded small in my hand
Now I hear that silence
And I understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Time flew hard
Like a train at dawn
I blinked once
And the days were gone
[Chorus]
Great Lakes, take me back
Great Lakes, take me back
I miss those days
When I knew my track
Great Lakes, hold me close
Great Lakes, hold me close
Time moves on
And it hits like smoke
[Bridge]
I’m older now
But I’m still that kid
Standing at attention
For the life I lived
One more look
At that water gray
I can feel it all
Even now, today
[Chorus]
Great Lakes, take me back
Great Lakes, take me back
I miss those days
When I knew my track
Great Lakes, hold me close
Great Lakes, hold me close
Time moves on
And it hits like smoke

Sad somber house with a slow four-on-the-floor pulse, soft kick and brushed clap, liquid piano motifs, low synth pad, and a restrained sub swell; verse stays intimate and spacious, pre-chorus lifts with filtered percussion and doubled vocal lines, chorus opens with a mournful hook and stacked harmonies, bridge drops to near-silence with a distant reverb tail before the final lift. Close-mic male vocal, tender doubles, emotional ad-libs, vinyl crackle and airy risers, wide and polished but bittersweet., sad, somber
