If You Could Read My Mind - (3:48) - 23,857 playsLyricsIf you could read my mind love

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - (6:14) - 7,158 playsLyricsThe legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
