The Bacon Brothers - Adirondack Blue

Supper just went on and on and on Dishes done the songs were sung As the night fell on the lake My heart began to ache Laughter from the dock below And I know I am too young to go And the kerosene burns bright Their motor fades into the night They are gone By a rock that's stuck with gum Slipped and fell I cut my thumb And it just won't seem to heal Just like everything I feel I found him put him in a box And I filled it up with leaves and rocks But I guess that wasn't wise Closed his salamander eyes 'Cause he is gone Is it the storm that's in from Canada? Or the crying of the loon? Or the ending of another year? Or the cold blue August moon? Or the embers dying in the fire? Or the mud that's in my shoe? How can this place that I have loved so much Leave me adirondack blue? Leave me adirondack blue? Leaves were still the lake was glass Man that thing was really fast Flying in my brother's boat Singing songs my brother wrote Built it himself from spit and glue Just another thing that I couldn't do But man can I get high Must be the wind that makes me cry And I am gone In a broken down lean-to I'm doing things I shouldn't do And she's in a gold canoe And she knows I know she knew I watch her hold my first born one On a big white rock in the sun To see another sunset die And her blue eyes say goodbye And she is gone Is it the storm that's in from Canada? Or the crying of the loon? Or the ending of another year? Or the cold blue August moon? Or the embers dying in the fire? Or the mud that's in my shoe? How can this place that I have loved so much Leave me adirondack blue? Leave me adirondack blue? Leave me adirondack blue?
