Beside the lake,
We'll sit and talk
Maybe listen for stories
In the waves and the wind.
Stare into the sky
Like staring into the past,
Memories floating like clouds
Dark, light, and drifting away again
So slowly.
Beside the lake,
We'll laugh and sing
Spray on our faces, in our eyes
And fragments of melodies
Flying, like our hair,
Around us and settling
Again,
On our shoulders.
Beside the lake,
We'll wish and dream
Of a future,
Of success
Of a little town home
With vines and books and music
Pictures on the mantle
And a warm light in the window.
Beside the lake, my dear
We're in good company.
