Biografía:
Great Lake Swimmers aparecieron en escena allá por 2004, cuando grabaron su primer disco, en un silo, álbum con el mismo título que el grupo y que mostraba canciones auténticamente estremecedoras con un sonido peculiar y un eco constante en la voz (¿será por el silo que cuenta la leyenda?) que nos aislaba en el mundo exterior; la formación liderada por Tony Dekker ofrecía una interesante interpretación del folk norteamericano. En 2005, Great

Great Lake Swimmers
Strummed or finger-picked slowly.
[Intro]
G D G D G D
[Verse]
G D G D
The currents want to pull you down. The bottom is empty, invisible.
G D G D
Where is the shore? Oh I can't see it anymore.
G D G D
Feeling so tired. Have to keep floating.
G D G D
The bottom is so far away. The shore is so far away.
G D G D
The finish line is out of sight. I won't give up without a fight.
Em D D
It's such a long swim.
G D G D
The waves are coming at full force. And even though I thrash about
G D Em D
It only makes it worse. I only get more tired.
G D G D
Have I gotten out so far. I don't know where the boat docks are.
G D G D
And the moon just laughs at me. A sickle in a cotton veil.
G D Em D D
Will I make it through this gale? It's such a long swim.
[Chorus]
G D G D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
G D Em D D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
[Verse]
G D G D
I was standing on a pier. Was it very far from here?
G D G D
Nothing but the water sounds. And if I had it in a glass
G D G D
I could drink it down and laugh. I would laugh and drink it down.
G D G D
The water is so pure tonight. It brings you life yet makes you drown.
Em D D G D
The fish must be laughing. I have seen the boats of steel.
G D G D
I have used a fishing reel. I am bobbing like a cork.
G D G D
In this never-ending dark. I am soaked from toe to chin.
G D G D
I will not let the water in. Is there any use at all
G D G D
To fight against this heavy tide? Will it take me in it's stride?
Em D D
It's such a long swim.
[Chorus]
G D G D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
G D Em D D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
[Verse]
G D G D
I was sitting in the sand. Waves were tumbling with the wind.
G D G D
They pulled him out. They pulled him in. The stretcher brought him back again.
G D G D
The sirens let the swimmers know not to wrestle undertows.
Em D D
It's such a long swim
G D G D
And now there is no sign of land. The breakers are behind me now.
G D G D
Splashing in a hopeless flow. Far above the muddy sand.
G D G D
Will I dry off on the rocks? Will I ever see the docks?
G D G D
The beacons must have all burnt out. I am flooded with this doubt.
Em D D
It's such a long swim.
[Chorus]
G D G D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
G D Em D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
G D G D
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
G D Em D D D G
It's such a long swim. It's such a long swim.
