Hi Moose, these lyrics you mentioned from "Wreck" have probably been the set of Gord's lyrics that have at touched me deepest in my lifetime. The whole song is a complete masterpiece! Hundreds of years from now, there will be three things that the world will still have knowledge of. ELVIS, The Beatles and the words and music of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". I know musically speaking, these are the three things that have touched me most. And the popularity of each just continues to grow and grow. Although I will admit that some of the most current Beatles tributes have made me want to gag.
