lyrics

Back to Poet's Lake

Is it that late?
Time flies when you’re coming undone
But there’s no-one to blame
It can happen here to anyone

On the road not taken
Back to Poet’s Lake in the fall
I hope to find her
I just don’t ever find her at all

And when the car broke down
She said “Well, I suppose we’re hiking and
Let’s talk it through, maybe I’ll come back to Scotland
Take account of what is lost and what merely forgotten
What might be retrieved”

Matthew 18 says
Jesus loves the little ones
But the weather here up north
It says something different

It was all forsaken
Up at Poet’s Lake and a pall
Fell upon everything
And we got nothing at all

And when the rain came down
She said “Well, this really figures and
Darling what’s the point, even if I did come back to Scotland
It would still be lost, or have you forgotten
You were the first to leave
And nothing gets retrieved”

It’s all ruins now
But Rosie people lived here once
They saw the end was coming
Just not in time to save themselves

And it’s back to the old train station
It’s back to Poet’s Lake in the fall
I hope to find her
I just don’t ever find her at all

I hope to find her
I just don’t ever find her at all
