[Verse 1]
That sun was risin’ slow, summer burnin’ in the sky,
Yeah, the sun was risin’ slow, summer burnin’ in the sky,
Daddy said, “Come on, boy… let’s let that pain roll by.”

Old bike wheels hummin’, tackle box in my hand,
Mm-hmm, old bike wheels hummin’, tackle box in my hand,
Every push on those pedals took me back to a younger land.

[Verse 2]
We reached that quiet water, cattails whisper in the breeze,
Yes, we reached that quiet water, cattails whisper in the breeze,
Daddy said, “Still your heart now, boy, fishin’ takes some ease.”

I held that line so steady, like love I’d yet to find,
Yeah, I held that line so steady, like love I’d yet to find,
Every pull of that water felt like truth inside my mind.

[Chorus]
🎶 Ghosts by the lake, Lord, they’re callin’ my name,
Talkin’ ‘bout old bikes, warm bread, and days that stayed the same.
He’s gone from my sight, but the water knows his flame,
Yeah, that first fish I caught, Lord, still burns in my veins…
Oh Daddy… we never said goodbye just the right way. 🎶

[Verse 3]
His hands wrapped ‘round mine, showin’ how the line should fly,
Yes, his hands wrapped ‘round mine, showin’ how the line should fly,
Said, “Every tug is a heartbeat, son, don’t you let it pass by.”

When that pull came sudden, my breath jumped clean away,
Yeah, when that pull came sudden, my breath jumped clean away,
Silver scales in the sunlight, leapt dancin’ on that day.

[Verse 4]
We didn’t take much home, but we caught that precious time,
No, we didn’t take much home, but we caught that precious time,
The kind you keep in a bottle, sippin’ slow like old red wine.

Now I sit by that same water, just me and my shadow alone,
Yes, I sit by that same water, just me and my shadow alone,
But I swear I hear his laughter in the river’s soft moan.

[Chorus]
🎶 Ghosts by the lake, sittin’ right next to me,
With a cup of warm tea and a tear nobody can see.
If heaven’s got a shoreline, I know right where he’ll be,
Teachin’ angels how to wait, fishin’ quiet as can be…
Oh Daddy… I still ride that memory. 🎶

[Bridge]
Time’s a thief, they tell me, but it ain’t stole you from my soul.
You’re in every ripple of that water, every shade the willows hold.
When I cast into nothin’ but wind and empty blue,
I feel your hand on mine, Daddy… like the day I learned from you.

[Final Chorus]
🎶 Ghosts by the lake, in the mist and the blue,
My first hero, my last goodbye, my forever truth.
I caught one fish, but a whole heart you gave me too…
More than reels, more than rivers, more than skies so true…🎶
