Seven islands to the high side of the bay, cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
We went walking on the high side of the bay on a chilly morn
And we saw how leaves had fallen on the beds where trees were born
Any man in his right mind could not fail to be made aware
Any woman with a gift of wisdom would not seek her answers there
Seven islands to the high side of the bay if youre looking west
To the sunset you can see it, all in fiery autumn dress
Anytime would be the right time to come up to your bed of boughs
Anybody with a wish to wander could not fail but to be aroused
Living high in the city, guess you think its a pretty good way
You get to learn but when you get burned you got nothing to say
You seem to think because you got chicken to go youre in luck
Fortune will not find you in your mansion or your truck
Brothers will desert you when youre down and shit out of luck
Look around at the morning, guess youre doing the best you can
Surely you know that when you go nobody gives you a hand
Think of the air youre breathing in, think of the time you waste
Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
Its time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Fortune will not find you in your mansion turned to gold
Brothers will desert you when your nights turn long and cold
If you feel it you better believe it, youre gonna see it, so you really know
It is rising like a feather, dipping and dancing from below
Theres a new wave that is breaking in the wake of a passing ship
Every nations gonna be shaken, put it together, dont let it slip
Its time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
Any man or a woman with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Seven islands to the high side of the bay, cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (1938-2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter considered one of the pillars of his country's folk and country music. Born in Orillia, Ontario, Lightfoot began his musical career in the 1960s, quickly gaining a reputation for his evocative melodies and poetic lyrics that often explored themes of history, nature, and everyday life in Canada. Among his most famous songs are "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". The latter song, inspired by the sinking of a ship on Lake Superior, became a folk classic and cemented Lightfoot as one of the most important singer-songwriters of the 20th century. Lightfoot collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and won numerous awards for his music, including the Juno Award for Canadian artist of the year. His influence on Canadian folk music has been profound and lasting.
