lyrics

That summer by the lake
There was a boat house and a pier
We sat around a fire
Told some stories and drank some beer
One day you swam too far
We didn't hear you scream
I still wonder if it was real
Or something from a dream

You drowned, yes you drowned
Who can forget that day
The day you went away

That summer by the lake
Mosquitoes ate us alive
We sprayed ourselves with Deet
Waited for paramedics to arrive
They never found your body
Just your two-piece bathing suit
Well Tom he drank Tequila
And Sue she ate dried fruit

You had a flair for the dramatic
I must admit your final scene was quite climatic

That summer by the lake
We fished and ate s'mores
The heat was so intense
The sweat gushed out our pores
I still think about that day
And I was devastated
Did you forget just how to swim
Or was it something much more calculated
