Story behind the song
The bass player in the band and I did a canoe trip across Hamlin Lake near Ludington, Michigan. The lake is a man-made lake and when you are near shore you can see where trees once flourished..
Lyrics
The bottom of the bayou reminds me of a time When all the trees were living and a raccoon could do just fine The bottom of the bayou exhibits fish galore When the trees were all living swimming would be quite the chore Where the land was once free is now an aquatic domain Where the land was once free a dam with retain Where the land was once 2x I looked to the bottom and the water was quite clear The lake had been conquered and home was drawing near I looked to the bottom and saw a time now past The lake had been conquered I was at home at last Solo Chorus We left the bayou and headed out to sea The bottom disappeared I could see nothing beneath me We left the bayou and the shore far behind The bottom disappeared but the dunes we would soon find.
