lyrics
After all the dogs have stopped their barking
I'll put on my shoes and go out walking
You won't see me dance or hear me singing
There's such a thing as too much of a good thing
Heading where the houses are sparser
Evading all the shadows of the eves
I can't go home with my mind in a place
Of all this spinning in figure eights
Until I ride into the night like the skater on the lake
You're gaming up to spend the evening downtown
Friday is a good night for the bar crowd
I won't be there to join you at the station
I do appreciate the invitation
I'll be free tomorrow but tonight I'm skating on the lake
Everybody needs their own escape from time to time
You've got your ways and I got mine
Some nights come when things fall out of place
Retreat to your quiet room for a break
Keep your eyes wide, you just might see me skating on the lake
I feel the wind chilly on my face
I see the moon's reflection on my laces
Feeling like I'm gliding through a painting
Thinking of the folks at home who're waiting
Tell em not to wait for me tonight I'm the skater on the lake
