The Secret of Kunjamuk Cave (song)

Song: The Secret of Kunjamuk Cave
Music & Lyrics: AI

[Verse1]
Is it nature's work, a slow, patient tear?
Or the hand of a man, from a bygone year?
The locals all wonder, and scholars debate,
The tale of its making, the twist of its fate.
Some whisper of Louie, the hermit of old,
Who sought refuge there from the winter's cold.
Escaping the village, his whiskey-fueled spree,
To the high dome of rock, and a chimney set free.
[Chorus]
In Speculator's deep green, a legend sleeps,
Where Kunjamuk’s soft, winding current creeps.
A cave holds its secret in silence profound,
A puzzle of stone, in the Adirondack ground.
[Verse2]
Others tell stories of days long ago,
Of prospectors seeking a mineral's glow.
For graphite and garnet were close to this spot,
So what if the riches were found and then forgot?
The entrance is small, a dark, gaping door,
Then expands to a chamber on the forest floor.
A hole in the ceiling, a shaft for the sky,
Lets a single sunbeam from heaven pass by.
[Chorus]
In Speculator's deep green, a legend sleeps,
Where Kunjamuk’s soft, winding current creeps.
A cave holds its secret in silence profound,
A puzzle of stone, in the Adirondack ground.
[Verse3]
It rains through the roof when the storm passes over,
A baptism of nature for the curious rover.
For decades, its silence has guarded its past,
An enigma in rock, built to last and to last.
So hike the long track through the hemlock and pine,
And let your own spirit with history entwine.
Stand at the entrance, and guess at the truth,
The secret of Kunjamuk, from the old to youth.
[Chorus]
In Speculator's deep green, a legend sleeps,
Where Kunjamuk’s soft, winding current creeps.
A cave holds its secret in silence profound,
A puzzle of stone, in the Adirondack ground.
A cave holds its secret in silence profound,
A puzzle of stone, in the Adirondack ground.
