lyrics

Won't you wait, by the lake
Kick your shoes up on the shore
Grab your kite from in the car and let it soar, let it soar

By the docks I'm skippin' rocks
Watch the ripples in the morn.
You'll fly your kite so high you might forget your shoes are worn

As the sunsets in the west
Well I falter with my form
I hear city cars and trolley lights brewin' in the storm

For what it's worth and what I've owned
Well my heart and mind are torn
I'll politely face the river banks and go lay down my sword

Photographs remind me
But they won't make memories appear
And it's all that I can say my dear

Won't you wait, by the lake
Let my worries fill your head
There'll be windows through the walls to find the stories that you left

Though we fear what we don't know
And the city scrapes the sky
Remember winter spells with winds that howl and rivers do run dry

Photographs remind me
But they won't make memories appear
And it's all that I can say my dear

Though my song is all but sung
And my chapter's all but writ
Will I gnash my teeth and pull my hair or slowly fade with it

Say goodbye my lonely pond
Am I shackled to this shore?
Be the picture framed I hang upon the eaves of my front porch

Photographs remind me
But they won't make memories appear
And it's all that I can say my dear
