Summer Water Lyrics

Sometimes that lake got angry, as the lightnin' went and crashed
Sometimes it was so still, it looked like a sheet of glass
But it washed away our beer cans, and it washed away our sins
It talked us out of all our clothes, and begged us to jump in

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e118834-ray_michael~summer_water_lyrics.html ]
There was magic in the summer water
Learned to swim in the summer water
All the small town sons and daughters
Were baptized a thousand times
Built a fire by it like an altar
Gave it every song we could offer
Memories float on it like a bobber
Out there on the summer water

When a heart was broken, it was better than a church pew sanctuary
A lot of long kiss, rocks skip, sun drenched orange crushed bottle caps got buried
It's where you spend your first night with your first love before the mercury starts fallin'
It's where you spend the last night with your first love before somebody goes to college

There was magic in the summer water
Learned to swim in the summer water
All the small town sons and daughters
Were baptized a thousand times
Built a fire by it like an altar
Gave it every song we could offer
Memories float on it like a bobber
Out there on the summer water

There was somethin' 'bout the summer water
Every girl that's where you brought her
It's where you slipped that ring you bought her
On her shakin' hand
Built a fire by it like an altar
Gave it every song we could offer
Memories float on it like a bobber
Out there on the summer water

Yeah out on the summer water
