michigan lakes remember we moved a 100 pianos in one day for some kind of show my brother was m.i.a.
we met in july i think we were swimming at the lake when pope paul died i thought to myslef “you’d make the perfect bride”
if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh
would you have stayed when i left? i can still recall your taste it’s all i kept that town was such a waste but you i won’t forget
work was steady enough when everyone wanted uprights in their basement dens unfinished houses they were just built right in my mom and dad i still think my leaving was the thing that did them in i came back for the wakes i never came home again
if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh if i could make you laugh
would you have stayed when i left? i can still recall your taste it’s all i kept that town was such a waste but you i won’t forget i never could forgot
was it love or just a play it seems a million years away sometimes i see you in my sleep muddy water on your feet the sun was shining on your hair i reach your hand but you’re not there i hope you’re laughing all the time i hope you still can read my mind
i hope you’re laughing all the time i hope you’re laughing all the time all the time all the time
i think in the spring i’ll go back and buy one of those pianos learn to play i’m setting aside a couple of hours a day
