Let's go down to the big lake, tho it's almost frozen Let's bring a basket to put the right stones in Tho the house is half done, we'll make a fireplace with these ones Gather these stones from Lake Superior Let's go out through the pine wood, tho the snow's a coming Let's pick the right tree and drag it home behind us Tho we've just begun, you are the family I've chosen And I know Grace, I know Grace will put the star on One family you're born in, one family you make One family you gain, already in place All I know is I'm home Whenever I'm near you Let's go out to the back porch, when the evening's over Wait for Orion to rise above the cedars In the middle of nowhere, far from the town I've never felt more found, more found than now One family you're born in, one family you make ... Near you, wanna be near you Let's go down to the big lake ....
