Bill Callahan - Lake Winnebago Lyrics


If I’m dying, make me Hawaiian
But if time and money are low
Take me on up
Take me on up
Take
Take me on up
To the shores of Lake Winnebago

Death is a hazy horizon in Wisconsin
I can lay my dreams to sleep on
Lake Winnebago
And not wonder where do they go
Lake Wheredotheygo

The Sutras say the highest state
Is not a river or an ocean, but a lake
Take me to the highest state
Take me to the highest state

I sure am Fond du Lac
I wonder when I’ll be back
Last time I was there was to bury Mom and Dad
And a cul-de-sac

He
She

The Sutras say Sadatay
The Sutras say Sadatay

Lake flies may swarm
When it gets warm
We’ll outlive them all
Forgive them all
On the shores of Butte des Morts
Low mountain of death

I light myself a little fuego
And watch the little waves as they flow
Lake Winnebago

I light myself a little fuego
And watch the little waves as they flow
Lake Winnebago
