Lakewood

lyrics

Lakewood lakewood won’t you be my friend
Like your rivers I been a-twistin’
Don’t know where it starts, don’t know where it ends
Lakewood Lakewood won’t you be my friend

Walking down Detroit Avenue
Looking for some thing to do
None will meet my darkened glance
A plastic bag blows against the fence

Lakewood Lakewood won’t you be my friend
Your gray gray skies seem to have no end
My soul feels clipped, my heart feels bent
Lakewood Lakewood won’t you be my friend

The snow is falling all around my room
The sun is down, it’ll be dark soon
The windows show me what it’s like outside
A rabbit finds a place to hide

A dim-lit bar, a half-filled crowd
A beer in hand, a quiet town
A good friend’s waiting just out of sight
Dust yourself off, go out tonight

Take a step, then take one more
Close the light, step out the door
If you dare reach out your hand
Lakewood Lakewood will be your friend

Lakewood Lakewood won’t you be my friend
Like your rivers I been a twistin’
Don’t know where it starts, don’t know where it ends
Lakewood Lakewood won’t you be my friend
