Up the Lake

If I could take the stars from the night sky

crrange them anyway that I see fit

cnd trace them from an image in my mind's eye

Still there would be nothing that I wouldn't give

To travel back in time before the whirl wind

Back when we were simple, young, and restless kids

Before we had to choose which road to take

Lord I wanna go back up the lake

I know what it means when you need to fill spaces

cnd get back to the places we know

We go up the lake until we grow complacent

ct home on her evergreen floor

I feel you smile down on me

I know you watch over me

I hope that you're proud of me

I'd love nothing more

If I could tame the highest mountain, no sweat

Or travel round the globe on my own jet

Become the biggest thing the world has known yet

Still I know I'll never begin to forget

cll those precious summers on the pontoon

Catchin' crawdads in a monsoon

Oh my, what a soul to take

Lord, I wanna go back up the lake

I know what it means when you need to fill spaces

cnd get back to the places we know

We go up the lake until we grow impatient

ct home on her evergreen floor

I feel you smile down on me

I know you watch over me

I hope that you're proud of me

I'd love nothing more
