Verse G C G In the lake all winter evenings, they're just sparkles in the sky, G D From the flankers of the wood stoves, as they fly. G C G And the cool crisp evening breezes, blows a foam across the bay, G D G There's a flicker from a lighthouse far away. Verse G C G I can see the small boats leavin', with the night still in the sky, G D From clear across the water voices fly. G C G In the stillness of the mornin', there'll be mist upon the bay, G D G And the winds would pick up later in the day.
