He watched the sky in troubled times It said be the change in mind and you will find They have a song, they have a way, they have a place Where they spoke his every word, but lost his name
By the blue By the Blue Lake In the cool shade
The shadow counted change and thoughts and took to flight Committing none to one, but for a night Though trips to bars, well they offered what they could It just seemed to foster hatred and seemed it should
By the blue By the Blue Lake In the cool shade I heard a song By the Blue Lake In the cool shade
ooooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo
Now the field is wide and their bones all rest with their heads in line And as the fires rise, won’t the dead decide or will they try And as the years go by, won’t the lord divide your tears from mine?
He left his home and headed west It seemed the only place a wanderer could go He wondered if the path was best and what for the good? But settled on a smile just like he should
By the blue By the Blue Lake In the cool shade I heard a song By the Blue Lake
In the cool shade In the cool shade In the cool shade In the cool shade
