Roughin It On Slave Lake

Fall
Sitting by the lake under a tree
The waves flicker light my way
Blending together naturally
Making faces with a wide eyed smile

Wind feels cold on the end of my nose
But the leaves are painted its ok
They whisper a tune in the wind
Its not bad to fade away

No nah
Ya let it hang on down
It’s the easiest old thing
Just let gravity take on over
And spiral on down

Drop down
Come on mama
Drop down

Well I haven't seen a fish
For two whole days
Guess its rice and veggies again
What I do to bring such luck
Hope it goes, hope it goes
with a seasons
change

Winter
Whiskey jacks a singing
Sounds like turquoise blue
Whistle back for conversation
Don't want them to think I want solitude

Snow drifts creeping so quietly
Its peaceful hanging line in the hole
Sun so hot it must have been two
But I hadn't had a piss for a while

Cabin Fever
Well I haven't seen a fish
for two whole days guess its
rice and veggies,
rice and veggies again
What I do to bring such luck
Hope it goes with a seasons
Change


Spring
Trees looking good with all their leaves
Geometrys to puzzle my mind
Wild flowers waving at their feet
Making me feel so kind

You know I lost half a reel to
a hunk of ice
Attached to my favourite lure
Cause mosquitos was biting
the black flies buzzing
Man I didn't even care

Oh, no no
Ya its been long cold winter
Mmm ya
Just needed some space
To do some pondering

Oh ya, mmmm
How do them bees
Get that buzz in the honey?

Well I haven't seen a fish
for two whole weeks
I guess its rice and veggies,
rice and veggies again
What I do to bring such luck
I hope it goes with a seasons change

Summer
Sitting by the lake under a tree
The waves flicker light my way
Smile in the waves keep singing
In the end you're only left with dreams

So dream them peaceful, in kind in mind
And every living thing with care
And listen to the music on the solstice
In the summer at your country fair
