There is a lake somewhere, if he could just lay down…
Along it's cooling water, on the other side of now.
Comfortable, free from pain, watch the clouds, imagining..
His failing body on healthy legs…have to go…

(Chorus) He said… I'm really not responsible, I'm really not reliable.
All I know is I have to go, have to go, have to go, have to go.

There was this trout once, big one, damn..got away.
Plenty of time for angling, I'll be retiring soon..someday.
Comfortable, free from pain, why is this happening.
Close your eyes, dream of bass and reeds, and go…

(Chorus)

There is a lake somewhere, someplace close to here.
Where all the flowers bloom at once, and…all year.
Comfortable, free from pain, stars burn bright forever.
Cast the line, imagining, the reel pulls.

(Chorus)

There on a lake somewhere, alone in a little boat….
There on a lake somewhere, alone in a little boat,
he's looking peaceful, as he rows….
