lyrics

Loon on the lake, calling in the night
Sing a little song her mama taught her
Blue of the day in the big black sky
Reflection of the light, stains the water

Talk to me, tell me what you’re dreaming
Talk to me, something to believe in,
Talk to me

You won’t say what your eyes can’t hide
You’re carrying a weight all alone
Who was it showed you how to keep it inside?
I’ll shine a little light just to let you know

You can talk to me in the middle of the night
Talk to me let’s make it alright
Talk to me
Talk to me, tell me what you’re dreaming
Talk to me, something to believe in
Talk to me

All night long
Only my echo calling back to me
Listen for another song
Why were you thinking that you had to hide?
Still as a stone on the dark lakeside
When will you let that voice come through?
Who’s gonna use it, if not you?

Still as a stone on the dark lakeside
Who do you think is gonna read your mind?
Talk to me
Calling in the darkness all night long
Waiting on someone else's song
Talk to me
Even the trees got something to say
Speak and let the wind come take it away
Talk to me

Loon on the lake, calling in the night
Sing a little song her mama taught her
