lyrics

Standing on the shore of a northern lake,
The rocks beneath her feet, it feels like home.
She left her shoes in the house on purpose,
Dips one toe beneath the surface,
Sending circle signals to the moose and the woods and the moon.

Sitting on the bed in a northern room
The window’s open wide so she can hear the loon
Who’s call comes in like it has for years,
The dog at her feet perks up his ears
They’re growing up together on the shores of this northern lake.

And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow
And the time loves to stand on the tall grass and watch
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.

Floating on her back in a northern lake
Staring at the sky, late afternoon,
When the water splashes into her ears
The sound of glaciers is all she hears.
The smell of dinner cooking blows across the lawn and lands in her smile.

And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
And the clouds love to rain as the snow loves to snow
And the time loves to sit on the back porch and watch
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.

This is home.
Feels like home.
This is home.

And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow
And the time loves to lie on the hammock and watch
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.
