Squam at Night

Rick plays guitar on this star-filled night
The pick flicks just right
and the music beams and bounces
through our idyllic little souls
Ashley's pawning atop the lake
as if she's figured out
exactly what it's all about
Jas' is just a smilin' face
listening to the sound of silence
imagining a world this tame and weightless without tyrants
Ooooh…
I can hear that wind blowing
Ooooh…
I can feel those words flowing
"Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time"
Like the water on the lake
We sing we jump we take
all the color from the sea
we are the forest we are the tree
And suddenly I could see
that what is in front of me
can't touch friends making you feel this free
