Madeline Island

We bought a tent and some sleeping bags And we jumped in the truck North bound on I-35 Before the sun came up We stopped for lunch in Kanow Park Passing through the Duluth Rolled into Bayfield, Wisconsin And there she was Madeline Island We left our cares on the mainland Boarded a ferry boat We saw La Pointe for the first time And we felt right at home Drove out to Big Bay State Park Picked out our campsite We settled in underneath the stars And there we were Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Madeline Island We left our shadows on the lake shore We soaked up all the sights About drowned in a downpour But for the northern lights We shot the breeze under pine trees And sat around the fire We hit the hay beneath the Milky Way And there we were Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Out there in the great Lake Superior Right across the bay We sat back, put our feet up and there we were Half a world away Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves With every passing day It was all a blur, but there we were On Madeline Island Madeline Island There we were on Madeline Island We made a memory That will always last But we went on that trip Just the three and back --- Madeline Island - Owl City
