Lyrics
Carlyle Lake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, stop thinking of tomorrow
Don't stop thinking of today
You're not getting any younger
You've got nothing to explain
You've got resolutions
Fastening in your wake
Take instead the high tide
At the man-made lake
It may take a while
It may take all day
All the implications
At the man-made lake
Oh stop thinking of tomorrow...
