Lyrics Lake Effect - Sam Roberts Band

Lake Effect

The summer’s golden days
I can remember
We dreamed them all away
Now the witch in November
Is blowing gales again
On the Great Lakes
Here comes a storm again
You can blame it on the lake effect
The sky is falling, and it ain’t done yet
Don’t you know that when it takes effect
No way of telling where the sun will set
Long live our northern songs
The tilted sunlight
Grow shadows long and cold
'Til the moonlight
Makes fire from the snow
Makes you feel like
We’ve lived this all before
You can blame it on the lake effect
The sky is falling, and it ain’t done yet
Don’t you know that when it takes effect
No way of telling where the sun will set
You can blame it on the lake effect
I hear you calling, and it’s so direct
Don’t you know that when it takes effect
Throw in the towel, throw it on the kitchen set
Don’t let the days roll by
Don’t let the days roll by
We fought
We won
We ran from the snow
We loved
We talked
We died
We’re born
We kissed
We climb
We fly
We lie
We turn
The page
We turn
The screw
You fall for me
And I fall for you
And now those golden days
Of the summer
Have vanished in the haze
Of winter’s slumber
The storm comes through in waves
It’s pushing us under
The snow could last for days
You can blame it on the lake effect
The sky is falling, and it ain’t done yet
Don’t you know that when it takes effect
No way of telling where the sun will set
You can blame it on the lake effect
I hear you calling, and it’s so direct
Don’t you know that when it takes effect
Throw in the towel, throw it on the kitchen set
