In The Late Night ✨

[Verse 1] Midnight shadows crawling on the floor Rocking chair squeaking by the screen door Old clock ticking out on the wall Counting every second that the shadows fall Match strike flickers and the paper glows Smoke rings drifting where the cool wind blows Pondering all of my wanderings now Sitting here wondering when and how [Chorus] In the late night, I ponder at this lake life My mind wanders and meanders like the Whitefish might... Watching the family shrink, watching the family grow From the burning summer sun to the blinding cold snow Tell me where did all the time go? I don't know... Still time to make the fond memories grow In the late night... [Verse 2] We boast about tomorrow, saying what we're gonna buy Making trades in the town under this country sky But we don't know what a single day will bring Man, what is your life? It’s a fleeting thing Just a mid-day mist that appears for a little time A vapor in the wind before it vanishes down the line Should've just been saying if the Lord wills it so We’re gonna live and do this or that down the road [Chorus] In the late night, I ponder at this lake life My mind wanders and meanders like the Whitefish might... Watching the family shrink, watching the family grow From the burning summer sun to the blinding cold snow Tell me where did all the time go? I don't know... Still time to make the fond memories grow In the late night... [Verse 3] Even though this outer body is wasting away Sitting on the porch watching the hair turn gray The inward man is being renewed day by day Our troubles are small, they won't last long anyway He made everything beautiful right in its season Even when my heavy heart can't find the reason He increases our families out here like a flock Built our whole lives with Jesus Christ as our Rock [Chorus] In the late night, I ponder at this lake life My mind wanders and meanders like the Whitefish might... Watching the family shrink, watching the family grow From the burning summer sun to the blinding cold snow Tell me where did all the time go? I don't know... Still time to make the fond memories grow In the late night... Just a mist in the wind Season comes, season goes Where did it go Where did it go ...Late night... ...Lake life... River flows... [Outtro] Just the clock ticking now Smoke clearing out If the Lord wills it so Fond memories grow In the late night
