The Gulf Stream

A song about fish and the American Dream.

Lyrics:

Aging Salmon
Racing up to spawn

With the wisdom
Of another day gone.

If they make it out to sea
They will be first to see,
In the Gulf Stream
You can dream.
In the Gulf Stream.

I've been drifting,
Swimming with the throng.

And I've been sinking,
Staring in the dawn.

If I make it out to sea
I'll be first to see,
In the Gulf Stream
You can dream.
in the Gulf Stream.

But I'm burning through the hope.
And I'm drinking all the fuel.
Oh how I am a fool,
Burning through the hope!

Now the wind blows
Drying up my gills.

That's how life goes.
Oh well, it was a thrill.

When I make it out to sea
I'll be the first to see,
In the Gulf Stream
You can dream.
in the Gulf Stream.

But I'm burning through the hope.
And I'm drinking all the fuel.
Oh how I am a fool,
Burning through the hope!

Prescient. Posted a month before the worst oil spill ever (so far), and in the Gulf.

@ByronMortimer

That is true, never even occurred to me.

These days, making it to the Gulf Stream is a little scary... if you're any kind of fish.

Great song!

Well I suppose oceanography songs are not everyone's cup of tea. I'm glad you listened and that it ultimately "reeled" you in. ;P
