Lake Effect - Sam Roberts Band

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
