Bobby lies in the Lake of the Isles
He's looking up and tired of the sky
I heard a dose of thunder and wondered why
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
Too late to turn back, here we go
Couldn't hear your band on the radio
Don't want to know the reason why
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
Johnny says that it doesn't pay to try
Doesn't take a smart boy to know why
He's looking back through glassy, gravestone eyes
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
Too late to turn back, here we go
Couldn't hear your band on the radio
Don't want to know the reason why
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
All the summer that you don't recall
Everyone knew Otis would fall
Now you can't forget about the guy
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
Too late to turn back, here we go
Couldn't hear your band on the radio
Don't want to know the reason why
I'm sad enough to make a streetlight sigh
