Lyrics
Oh, Sleeping Bear!
Ran to the top and got scared
Of what I could see
Oh, Lamb of God!
Tell us your perfect design
And give us the rod
Oh, Sturgeon Bay!
Covered completely in sand
And covered in sun
Oh, Saint Marie!
Give up, the rocking boat's drowned
The Captain is done
You know, it's ok that Sufjan went in a slightly more "edgy" direction with Age of Adz (I know he was "tired of the banjo, tired of the piano...", but there is just so much grace and beauty to this music, like that of Seven Swans and even Illinoise. It is tonic for the soul.

This story makes me cry. The song does too. One of my favourite Sufy songs.

@AnAcidRevolution And a very beautiful place. Me and my family used to camp there every year.

Wonderful song. Read into the story of Sleeping Bear National Park in Michigan. Very interesting story.
