Michigan and again...

I’ve got a rather eclectic choices in music ranging from acid jazz, smooth jazz, classical and folk, my favorite. Michigan is home to some really great music genres folk is one of the more forgotten.

This selection is by “The Acccidentals” thought is was a great one to start with its almost like a Michigan anthem.

Lyrics
We lay down in the grass
In our nest of sleeping bags
Breathing in the shallow canyon air

The water, 45 degrees
We wade out to the knees
And soak to the sleeves in a semi-aquatic prayer

Great state, what state am I in?
Compass roses bloom again
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again

Soft shoulders of sand dunes
Porcupine cactus flowers bloom
In the dust of the devil's empty living room

Salt silts the flattened land
Time like a snake in the sand
Powdered porcelain in a stranger's hand

Great state, what state am I in?
Compass roses bloom again
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again

Looking down to the high five
Grazing ground to hear the sound of a heavy sigh
Home is where you left your heart behind
Even fortified fossils dissolve over time
When I came home, I went down to the lake
My dad told me he counts up the days
And when I packed my bags, coffee stains of jet lag
There were conifers lining the driveway, whispering
"Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay"

Great state, what state am I in?
Compass roses bloom again
Home of the water, Canada's daughter
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
Michigan and again and again and again and again
