lirik lagu trevor lewington - the last of the great lake schooners
[verse 1]
in history, this village had a common sense of pride
for building boats to sail the lakes through weather foul and fine
armed with old world knowledge, there were many thousand made
only the helen macleod remains
[verse 2]
november 12 in ’32, in search of one last haul
slammed by some ferocious storm, a bitter winter blow
[?] was shaking up, no more could she sail
firmily, the helen macleod would [?]
[chorus]
she’s the last of the great lakes schoonеrs
the last of the ships we madе
i hope i live to see her sails
catch the wind again
will she catch the wind again?
[verse 3]
six times they tethered up the line [?] beach time it did fray
the wind cut through just like a knife, and the two boats parted ways
helen macleod was running low and left in search of fuel
and hastily return did she promise to
[chorus]
she’s the last of the great lakes schooners
the last of the ships we made
i hope i live to see her sails
catch the wind again
will she catch the wind again?
[verse 4]
after twelve long hours, they had safety in their sights
all members of the crew on board, and [?] behind
sadly, then, the line gave way
so close now to the shore
and [?] she met her end below
[chorus]
she’s the last of the great lakes schooners
the last of the ships we made
i hope i live to see her sails
catch the wind again
will she catch the wind again?
[verse 5]
now boarded up inside a barn, her sails folded neat
the last of thousands of her kind, replaced by modern steel
no one has the funds to bring her back in shape to sail
so for the time, helen macleod will wait
she will wait
[chorus]
she’s the last of the great lakes schooners
the last of the ships we made
i hope i live to see her sails
catch the wind again
she’s the last of the great lakes schooners
now waiting for her day
i hope i live to see her sails
catch the wind again
will she catch the wind again?
