bounding main - roll call lyrics

as the sun rose and the day broke
i heard a voice calling out a name
it was strong and clear, yet a whisper’s breath
i can hear the voice ringing in my ears

it called for philip minch and for h.a. barr
it called for jay gould and sarah e. sheldon
it called for wilma, and for alva b.,
for colonel cook and paddy murphy
it called out and then the voice faded away

as the sun rose high and the half day passed
i heard a voice breathing out a name
it was strong and clear, yet a whisper’s breath
i can hear the voice ringing in my ears

it nevеr rested, nevеr took a breath
it called for myron and fannie l. jones
a call for penelope, one for cecile j.,
another for old george stone
the voice went on, the voice rang on, all throughout the day

as the sun set, and the day was done
the voice then began to dim
an understanding and it came to me
yes, i knew, i knew all the names
it was the roll call
yes, the roll call of the wrecks of the great lakes
this was the roll call
yes, the roll call of the wrecks of the great lakes
as the sun rose and a new day broke
i heard a voice calling out their names
it said, “remember those who came before.”
and i vowed never to forget
this is the roll call, oh it’s the call
for the wrecks of the great lakes
this is the roll call, oh it’s the call
for the wrecks of the great lakes
