Sunken Union Boat - John Vanderslice

Out past the Levy County line

Coffee black Suwannee River blends into the coast

Gushing water crimson copper boil

I grew up there the bottom of the swimming hole

Fresh blood comes rushing back to me

I never thought I’d remember all of this

Oh dear me

It’s a trick of the mind

It’s a trick of the mind

Mind mind

It’s a trick of the mind

Mind mind

Ready, set, dive again

Open up your mask let the water clean your glass

Find the sunken union boat

Find the 1955 Dr. Pepper can

Fresh blood comes rushing back to me

I never thought I’d remember all of this

Oh dear me

It’s a trick of the mind

It’s a trick of the mind

It’s a trick of the mind

Mind mind

It’s a trick of the mind

Mind mind

It’s a trick of the mind

Mind mind
