AmAt the time I was Gtoo young for the mAmeaning
AmBut it's become much cGlearer through the Amyears
AmWe gathered roGund the boy in his aFrmy clothes
Said goodDmbye and his mEmother shed her tAmears
AmEvery day she wGatched for the pAmostman
AmBut the long awaited lGetter was over Amdue
AmIt's not the sGilence that maFkes you crazy
It's the sDmound of a hEmeart breaking in Amtwo
FThen it cGame across the Amocean
It was Fhard to underGstand the awful Amnews
FI don't know Gwhy I still reAmmember
I gDmuess it's just the EmLake Placid AmBlues
I turned 18 and left that part of the country
Went down on the Padre Island coast
Of all the hard times I still remember
The repossession of the guitar hurt the most
The paupers stood in line outside the mission
And I huddled there beside them in the rain
A priest came to the door with empty eyes
I could see he no longer felt their pain
Some were searchin' for forgiveness
And others only wanted food
I needed more than I could ask for
There is no comfort with the Lake Placid Blues
It's hard to find good friends in a lifetime
You can usually count 'em on one hand
I shivered by the fire and the dawn was breakin'
And I scattered his ashes on the sand
And the silver cranes came over in formation
In a sacred manner they flew
And I will always remember
The sky, the Lake Placid Blues
