Darkness On Leather Lake

Going up to higher ground
There's no use staying in a lonesome town
Big horizons, high and wide
The temperature's rising to 105
Darkness comes at noon
There's a hanging by the light of the moon
And I just found out
I just found out
That everything is wrong
I don't know how it took me so long

Well the general surgeon, he says it's bad
But he's looking shifty, just like your dear old dad
There's no ducks swimming on the leather lake
I said your excess baggage was your big mistake
Darkness comes at noon
There's a hanging by the light of the moon
And I just found out that everything is wrong
I don't know how it took me so long
But I found out
I didn't read it in the paper
I didn't see it on the news
I hope it's not too late
