作曲 : Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) |
| [00:02.853] |
When I was eight or nine, |
| [00:05.653] |
I took a trip up north with my brother, my father and my uncle |
| [00:26.358] |
We woke up early and packed bagged lunches |
| [00:39.157] |
and cans of pop into a cooler, |
| [00:45.585] |
and drove to a canoe rental in Mesick |
| [00:55.682] |
We split up in two canoes |
| [01:02.620] |
I imagined us as Lewis and Clark, |
| [01:09.129] |
charting acres of unspoiled land |
| [01:14.527] |
as the Manistee opened up like a canvas |
| [01:20.820] |
We crawled at a slow, lazy pace |
| [01:25.570] |
and reached the landing as the sun began to slide behind the horizon |
| [01:35.697] |
and pulled our boats ashore |
| [01:40.707] |
It was still warm and we were exhausted |
| [01:44.275] |
so we jumped into the water to cool off, |
| [01:51.699] |
as my uncle launched into a speech |
| [01:58.437] |
about the history of the Petoskey stone |
| [02:08.513] |
and how rare it would be to find any here |
| [02:14.168] |
Then he reached into the river bed |
| [02:18.360] |
and pulled one out on his very first try |
| [02:25.291] |
We spent the rest of our time trying to find another one |
| [02:33.701] |
but came up empty-handed |
