Verve Pipe, The - Overboard Lyrics
Truth lives next to consequence
It comes and goes like winter wind
Blowing across the straits one night
Cold as death and real as sin
I loved her and she loved me
But trouble travels silently
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is over me and
Over you and
Overboard
Guide me toward that lonely light
It's your beacon in the night
Now row us straight back to that shore
With frozen hands and muscles sore
And my back against your back
We glide along the water black
Both knowing there's no turning back
There's a girl in Michigan
Up in Lake Superior
Who'll never bother us again
Making our lives easier
With alibis so paper thin
Now that she is out of sight
And out of mind
And Overboard
She was never gonna let us go
Had a hold on me
And a curse on you
As she lay there pale upon that shore
With her eyes gone black
They once were blue
She could see me for the first time
Now there's a girl in Michigan
Who's overboard
Truth moved on from consequence
Just when things were making sense
Her body washed back home to shore
Discovered by a neighbor boy
And now she's in our lives again
The three of us in shadows

Verve Pipe, The Overboard Comments
I was born in Michigan many moons ago. I have lived all over the US. Feeling I will return to Michigan to die there
Cadê o Brasil pra dar like nesta bela canção.
Love this!
Algum BR fã?
The most hauntingly, beautiful song I have probably ever heard. I have been trying to figure out if it was a suicide or a murder for some while now. Best that, I never know I guess.
a master piece,please we need more & you deserve to be known more n more
You paint a very eerie picture in this song... excellent to say the least
greetz from K-Zoo !!!!!! Saw you guys at "the State" !!!! And downtown. And likely a couple more times.
I think we might have once kissed the same redhead in Michigan.
brian, thank you...
She could see me for the first time. What a line! xx
It is a Verve Pipe kind of day for me at work. Headphones on and the volume up. than ks so much for all the great tunes to listen to.
Yep, you guys are still awesome.
This song is just perfect.
Brian VanDer Ark is simply a pure genius...
Brilliant... The whole album blew me away. Unexpected, but I'm glad I didn't assume they were far removed from greatness.
great song great band
Not just Michigan. Its my home. The great Upper Peninsula of Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior! Some local talent used in the video too. With the power plant behind him it appears to be Marquette. I saw these guys in 1991 at Club Soda in Kalamazoo MI. They were called Jonnie with an Eye back then and playing for an audience of 20. Because it was dead they took requests. I kid you not, these guys were like a human jukebox. I'm pretty sure they nailed all requests. Even back then you could tell there was something different about these guys. A line up change and great song writing was all it took. It didn't hurt that they were genuinely nice guys with a ton of talent.
this song tho
Great Song
