Bird Lake

I've been coming here every year at the same the silver hills are turning green
 Needed a place to stay all of those years ago and you were so welcoming
 But then one day you were gone
 This never was where you belonged
 I wish I'd known it
 When you asked it
 Out on Bird Lake
 Your skin electric
 All of the chances I lost by laughing and joking around
 But we're older now
 I find myself thinking of you when the smokey winter air is closing in
 Wondering who your brown eyes may beholding and whether they love that grin
 But I was a fool and afraid
 Holding that sweater that you gave
 I wish I'd known it
 When you asked it
 Out on Bird Lake
 Your skin electric
 All of the chances I lost by laughing and joking around
 But we're older now
 I wish I'd known it
 When you asked it
 Out on Bird Lake
 Your skin electric
 All of the chances I lost by laughing and joking around
 But we're older now
