SKATE AWAY The leaves are brown and the sky is blue I’m walking along the tracks on the path with you Over our shoulders hang the blades We cross the road and head down to St. Vincent lake Your beard is long and your hair is white Your hands are strong and your eyes are bright We walk along the bank in the morning light Below the Holy Cross Then you and I lace them up And step out onto the ice We let the blades carry us away As in and out we glide I stop awhile and watch you go The sun is in your eye And realize that the good times we have Will soon pass us bye Skate away, Skate away, Skate away I’ll see you another day When we were young we could skate all day Passing the puck took the pain away And all those things we couldn’t take Were left behind down at St. Vincent lake Your hair is long and your grip is tight Your stride is strong and your skates are light And on the ice our whole world seems right Below the Holy Cross Then you and I lace them up And step out onto the ice We let the blades carry us away As in and out we glide I stop awhile and watch you go As you go skating bye And realize that your skates are wings That help you to fly Skate away, Skate away, Skate away I’ll see you another day Now the leaves are brown The sky is gray The cold wind howls since you went away And all those things we couldn’t say Were left behind, down at St. Vincent Lake There’s no wrong and there’s no right Just time going away and the speed of light But I still close my eyes and pray at night Below the Holy Cross That one more day we lace them up And step out onto the ice We let the blades carry us away To the other side I’ll stop awhile and watch you go The wind is at your back Realize as you skate away That you’re not coming back Skate away, Skate away, Skate away I’ll see you another day "Brian Kadlubek"
