Lakeside Landing
"Lakeside Landing"
Words and Music by Scott Cooley.
She landed by the lakeside
Close to home, yet on her own
A next-step from college incomplete
She knew she'd soon be by the seaside
In her parents' country of old
Another move from refusing to compete
She landed by the lakeside
Close to love, yet far away
Another place to hide out and forget
She felt she'd go with the flow of the tide
And let the wind blow her where it may
Another way to get grounded without regret
She sailed, and then she flew
She bailed out on me and you
She ran away to escape the shame
She ran away to escape the pain
She's gone for good, and only memories remain
She's a million miles away
She landed by the lakeside
And though her memories may fade
As the water cools her flame
Another charred path still left behind
From the decisions she never made
All she wanted was another new clean slate, pre-arranged
She sailed, and then she flew
She bailed out on me and you
She ran away to escape the shame
She ran away to escape the pain
She's gone for good, and only memories remain
She's a million miles away
She landed by the lakeside
And there she stayed
