Broadcast

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The sun rises with no sound

And broadcasts only the required amounts

And as it ensouls the lake

We see a small puff of smoke from far away

It’s a Great Laker

Pink in the rising sun

Dropping off something

A big freighter

Pink on the horizon

It’s picking up something

The sun leaves the day denounced

And broadcasts only the entire amount

As four apples wash ashore

We look out and there, we see some more

There’s a Laker

Pink in the setting sun

Dropping off something

The moon comes up big and round

And broadcasts only its small amounts

We’re no good but we’re organised

We look out and there, on the lake’s a light

A Great Laker’s light

If it’s showing green

It’s dropping off something

If it’s showing red

Coming from the right

Out of the west

Into the night

On the working lake

Moving with the wind

It’s picking up something

Our beautiful due

Our hearts open wide

Just me and you

Fourteen inside

Standing by the lake

Faces to the wind

Picking up something
