Michigan Calling
By:
Robin Tremble
From the CD:

|
Isle Royal, Kalamazoo,
Saginaw, Sault Saint Marie
Battle Creek, Mackinaw, Tequaminon Falls, Ypsilanti
From Paradise to Paw Paw
From Oscoda to Mio
Somewhere on the north wind – Is the voice of Michigan
Calling me – Calling Me – Michigan Calling Me – Calling me home
Iron Mountain,
Cadillac, Calumet, Copper Harbor
Escanaba, Frankenmuth, Munising, Ann Arbor
From Port Austin to Port Huron
From Pinconning to Alpena
Somewhere on the north wind – Is the voice of Michigan
Calling me – Calling Me – Michigan Calling Me – Calling me home
When I was
a little boy we could hear sirens singing under Saginaw Bridge
Calling out to us as far as Mackinac, carried by that northern
wind
Michiganders know what I mean, even the trolls understand…
Living safely in the palm of her hand
Voices fade as time goes by – and over time I had forgotten them
Until a dear old friend, that northern wind, rattled my windows
just today
With familiar voices, calling me home, from yesterday
Somewhere on
the north wind – Is the voice of Michigan
Calling me – Calling Me – Michigan Calling me – Calling me home
Grand Rapids,
Cheboygan, Bay City White Fish Pointe
Swartz Creek, Pontiac, Standish, Sterling and Detroit
From Beaver Island to Brimley
From Jackson to the Soo
Somewhere on the north wind – Is the voice of Michigan
Calling me – Calling Me – Michigan Calling me – Calling me home
Calling me home – Calling me home – I want to go home
The Great
Lakes, Superior, Huron and Lake Michigan, Petoskey, Manistee,
The Rifle River, Ironwood, Ludington, Flint, Omer, Holland, Oh
and Christmas, Michigan can’t forget that. Deer Acres, Castle
Rock, Pictured Rock, Pasties… Mackinac fudge…
