Cabin By A Lake
Memories Echo in the Lonely Cabin by the Lake
Lyrics
There's a cabin by a lake
There is a cabin located beside a lake.
It's pretty lonesome these days
The cabin is currently isolated and desolate.
Not like when I was young
The atmosphere is different from the narrator's youth.
It shined like the morning sun
In the past, the cabin was vibrant and full of life.
My daddy built it with his hands
The narrator's father constructed the cabin manually.
With the help of his friends
Assistance was provided by the father's friends during construction.
He don't see them much these days
The father has lost touch with those friends in the present.
My how times have changed
Reflecting on the significant changes that have occurred.
That old log cabin
Describing the cabin as an old log cabin.
Nestled in the trees
The cabin is surrounded by trees, creating a picturesque scene.
Looking so lonesome
The cabin appears lonely, yearning for companionship.
Waiting for some company
The cabin seems to be waiting for someone to keep it company.
We would fish until it was dark
Recalling fishing activities until nightfall.
then back to the cabin to play cards
After fishing, returning to the cabin for card games.
Lit by a lantern and some candles
Illumination provided by lanterns and candles.
Country music on the radio
Country music playing on the radio in the cabin.
That old chimney used to smoke
Reference to the chimney emitting smoke in the past.
We would stay warm by the stove
Keeping warm by the stove during earlier times.
Now the ambers have gone cold
Presently, the warmth has faded, and the cabin is cold.
That old cabin sits alone
The old cabin is now deserted and without life.
That old log cabin
Reiteration of the description of the cabin as an old log cabin.
Nestled in the trees
Reiterating the cabin's location in the trees.
Looking so lonesome
Emphasizing the lonely appearance of the cabin.
Waiting for some company
Expressing a sense of anticipation for someone to visit the cabin.
