With my eyes closed I still see Blue-green water sparkling in the heat Clear beneath each wave Limestone pudding steady beneath my feet My dad and I would dive Watching carp chase gobies round We'd sunbathe by the shore, lingering as the sun went down.
He's gone now, yet in my mind's eye, we swim together, side by side.
And Lake Ontario, my great blue muse, your white waters, your sky so deep, your lovely wake, I still pursue in the deeps and swells of Lake Ontario.
Now the waters when they churn Hurl stones upon the grass Rolling waves will churn and turn Every storm that breaks must pass It's there now in my mind's eye where the sunlight breaks the night.
So deep your lovely wake I still pursue In the deep sand swells of Lake Ontario Now a spiteful imp wants to break your name Erasing who you are But my love, you outlast every storm You'll never lose my heart You're there now in my mind's eye Where your sunlight breaks my night And Lake Ontario, my great blue muse.
Your white waters, your skies so deep.
Your lovely wake I still pursue.

And it goes, now a spiteful imp wants to break your name, erasing who you are.
I'm just going to leave that there.
Not a surprise.

We played them a couple of times back in the 600 shows, which is like 2020-ish.
