Beer Lake Poem by William Mowell

You in my arms, the night on alarm
The reflection in the water, open another bottle

Right here is where I wanna be
The stars in the sky are all we can see

A gentle kiss will linger on my lips
My hand resting on your hip

Six pack and an old cane pole
Fishin' in the dark after taking a stroll

Old beer lake never looked this good
I would hold you forever, you know I would

Hoping it will last, but knowing It never does
Living for the moment, living for what was

This lake has seen its share of breakups
I was hoping it would see our love grow up

Another girl, the same ol' lake
Love in the water, the love wasn't fake

This lake has been there for them all
This lake has seen me fly and it's watched me fall

All the while never making a sound
Even while we tore up the ground

Now there's a general store where that lake once stood
Replacing the water, for some concreted wood
