The Lake Lyrics

The time, the place, the lake, the trees

Water, sun, fire, breeze

Memories and history

Kids, the moon, stars and shoals

Falling fruit and glowing coals

Two friends and the mystery

Frank, you think maybe we got it right-least for tonight right here?

He answered with his eyes so bright- thought I just might have heard him say

It doesn't matter anyway

Rivers, roads and now the sea

Tunnels, downs and family

Sand and beer and brothers

Another time, a younger face

A father's warm embrace

Weddings, birthdays, mothers

Dad it's times like these I realise quite how time flies away

And the answer in his eyes still bright-thought I just might have heard them say

It doesn't matter anyway

Bridges, borders, now the bell

Rounds and laughter, tales to tell

And no one going nowhere

Vows kept, new ones made

Tall tales spun, old tunes replayed

Common place yet so rare

Seems I never knew that nothing lasts it's all just passed away

And the fault in friendship's frailty-like seed, like grass like hay

It doesn't matter anyway
