lyrics

I smell citronella, and sunscreen, and chlorine
An endorphin waning, a waving daydream
With Superior sights, and sleepless nights, and mornings
Spent counting thoughts, and northern lights, and islands

I need smoke still rising, the charring oak and ember
Sand so tender
With cool surface dew, a fogged out glass surrender

Sing with me now if you call this place your home
Apple blossomed fields, they’re all I know
Just weaving and winding
Driving north on two lane roads
Michigan, can I call this place my home?

I hope this makes its way to you before the winter
Bundled and warm, just making sure to remember
When what we had was counted in stones and lilacs

I heard a robins call, yesterday in the morning
I felt the Spring turning, a budding dogwood calling
Me out to the dunes, the views, and you

Sing with me now if you call this place your home
Apple blossomed fields, they’re all I know
Just weaving and winding
Driving north on two lane roads
Michigan, can I call this place my home?
