Carter Lake Serenade

Carter Lake, where the fish jump high Reefer Queen Nikki by my side Papa Tim, grandkids in the breeze Lilliana's laugh, Araya chases bees Special guest, Pollock Jerry sings Irish tales, old lines, blues strings Hook-line sinker, tales getting bigger Nikki winks as the kids start to giggle Tim ties a lure, his hands wise and steady Lake's mirror surface, our hearts are ready Jerry strums that old guitar Sings of whiskey, love, and bars Sunset's gold, flames on the water's face Kids casting lines, into the deep embrace Nikki's stories, a spark in her eyes Whispers of the wind, as the day says its goodbyes Papa Tim's laughter, echoes in the sky Lilliana's wonder, Araya's spirit flies
