Lake Effect

The summer's golden days
 I can remember
 We dreamed them all away
 Now the witch in November
 Is blowing gales again
 On the Great Lakes
 Here comes a storm again
 You can blame it on the lake effect
 The sky is falling, and it ain't done yet
 Don't you know that when it takes effect
 No way of telling where the sun will set
 Long live our northern souls
 The tilted sunlight
 Throw shadows long and cold
 'Til the moonlight
 Makes fire of the snow
 Makes you feel like
 We've lived this all before
 You can blame it on the lake effect
 The sky is falling, and it ain't done yet
 Don't you know that when it takes effect
 No way of telling where the sun will set
 You can blame it on the lake effect
 I hear you calling, and it's so direct
 Don't you know that when it takes effect
 Throw in the towel, throw it on the kitchen set
 Don't let the days roll by
 Don't let the days roll by
 We fought
 We won
 We ran from the storm
 We learned
 We taught
 We died
 We were born
 We kissed
 We cried
 We vowed
 We lied
 We turned
 The page
 We turned
 The screw
 You fought for me
 And I fought for you
 And now those golden days
 Of the summer
 Have vanished in the haze
 Of winter's slumber
 The storm comes through in waves
 It's pushing us under
 The snow could last for days
 You can blame it on the lake effect
 The sky is falling, and it ain't done yet
 Don't you know that when it takes effect
 No way of telling where the sun will set
 You can blame it on the lake effect
 I hear you calling, and it's so direct
 Don't you know that when it takes effect
 Throw in the towel, throw it on the kitchen set
