Golden lake
Dewey morning
Feels like all the morns before
Autumn drake
Floatin’ by
You’re off on some foreign shore
I hear you
In the trees
In the house with cedar shake
Time to pay
The bills again
Time to sit and concentrate
You were good
At fixing my mistakes
And tellin’ me everything would be okay
Shorter days,
Less time to watch the daylight tick away
An empty page as the sun shines a futile ray
I’m fighting not to look
At the sketchbook on my lap
I tried to keep it gray
No feeling in my fingers
The colors went away
Since you’re not on a plane
And I’m feeling all alone
Like it’s the first time in the world
Anyone has felt this way
Taking aim,
Maybe I
Have found someone to blame
Last night
I was at a wedding
I felt asleep while still awake
Last night the spirits were raised
Last night the pomp came like a blaze
How have others felt this way
And not gone totally insane?
You should have seen them last night
Dancing by the light
And their first dance was the kind to shake
You with such might
And open the doors of your soul
So you have nowhere to go
But into a lovers’ arms
Golden lake,
Reminds me of the walks we used to take
September now
And you’ve been gone for two years
There is no place left to look
You’ll see me on the street, I’ll be looking down
You’ll tap me on the shoulder
And ask if I’m okay
I’ll say that I’m okay
And we’ll remember how we used to be
It’s different somehow
Since it’s September now
And summer got lost along the way
