Lake Michigan

from Five Things by Nicholas Rowe

lyrics

The only thing that I truly own is this heart inside my chest
And so I like to keep it locked and hidden underneath my vest

'Cause I been hurt before. Don't you leave me in Chicago.
What did you come here for if you won't be here tomorrow?

I know my voice is quiet baby but my heart is so loud.
So many things that I want to say but you know they won't come out

'Cause I been hurt before. Don't you leave me in Chicago.
Tell me what did you come here for if you won't be here tomorrow?

I went down to the waterfront docks where we walked the night we met
Went to our usual meeting spot and I found the note you left
Then I watched the dark clouds roll in and swallow up Lake Michigan
And I rode that storm back home.

I'm gonna sit in my sorrow until I write a song or two.
I'm gonna sit in silence until I can finally hear the truth.

'Cause I been hurt before. Why'd you leave me in Chicago?
Baby what did you come here for if you won't be here tomorrow?

I went down to the waterfront docks where we walked the night we met.
A distant thunder from far off so I turned to face the wind
Then I watched the dark clouds roll in and swallow up Lake Michigan
And I rode that storm back home.
