By The Lake

from Night Rolls Open by Andy Gibson

/

lyrics

you must be real down
don’t you care for your own?
you must be real down
why won’t you answer your phone?

walking in the rain in the parking lot
you sure know how to pick a scenic spot, don’t you

your coat gets heavy as the raindrops drag it down
your capsized heart blows its whistle and prepares to drown
you hear a voice travel through the park
a subtle flicker glows in the dark
your feet are walking and you’re drawing near to this voice you hear
it’s calling

sit down by the lake with me
i built a fire where the earth was broken
i’ll listen to your words for free
and i’ll build a fire as the night rolls open

it seems so quiet even though i can hear the cars
down in your hideaway the road just seems so far
talking in the shadowy light of gold
your voice is young though your face is old
you’re a timeless soul, calling
