Clear Lake

Wayne Webster

Another whack of winter brings this song to mind. Warm memories of times spent up north at a dear friend’s cottage and sharing a lot of wine and song by the fireside!

CLEAR LAKE (for Marianne)

A winter morning along Clear Lake
The air so free, the sky so blue
And all around us the evergreen hills
All covered with snow—–

A winter morning along Clear Lake
Just like a song, drifting along
And all around us a spellbound silence
And sunlight sparkling on the snow

(Instrumental Verse)

 Lazy winter afternoon
 Watching the icicles form
 Watching the dog, 
 Who's watching the birds
 Then the sun going down 
 Watching the dog, 
 Who's watching the birds
 Then the sun going down---------

Shadows have fallen
Candles flicker and glow
Voices gather together
Wine and songs start to flow

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight

Love to feel your voice mix with mine
Love to see your eyes softly shine
In the candle lit night

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight…

A winter midnight along Clear Lake
The winding road rolls us along
And over our heads there’s a sky full of stars
To light us the way———
And over our heads there’s a sky full of stars
To light us the way––––

Sweet dreams, Sagitarrius
Sweet dreams to you, Capricorn
Gemini watches over you tonight
Sweet dreams, Sagitarrius
Sweet dreams to you, Capricorn
Gemini watches over you tonight

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight

On the wings of a song
We travel along
High over sorrow tonight
