A Northern Lake (Erin) Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch Album: Gentle Hen - Sneaking up on the Moon https://youtu.be/4NopiF0NHao [verse] G C D Standing on the shore of a northern lake, G C D The rocks beneath her feet, it feels like home. Bm C She left her shoes in the house on purpose, Am Cm Dips one toe beneath the surface, G C D G Sending circle signals to the moose and the woods and the moon. [verse] G C D Sitting on the bed in a northern room G C D The window’s open wide so she can hear the loon Bm C Who’s call comes in like it has for years, Am Cm The dog at her feet perks up his ears G C D G They’re growing up together on the shores of this northern lake. [chorus] Em Am C D And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow G Em C D And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow G Em C D And the time loves to stand in the tall grass and watch G Em C D G As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home. [verse] G C D Floating on her back in a northern lak G C D Staring at the sky, late afternoon, Bm C When the water splashes over her ears Am Cm The sound of glaciers is all she hears. G C D G The smell of dinner cooking blows across the lawn and lands in her smile. [chorus] Em Am C D And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow G Em C D And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow G Em C D And the time loves to sit on the back porch and watch G Em C D Em G As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home. [bridge] Am C This is home. Em G Feels like home. Am C D This is home. [chorus] Em Am C D And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow G Em C D And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow G Em C D And the time loves to lie on the hammock and watch G Em C D G As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.
