lyrics

Laplant Road

I spent an autumn weekend in the sun
picking songs
righting wrongs.
Thinking back to days Lloyd shared with Norman Blake
Staying awake
picking by the lake.

(chorus)
And the winters send that old sun down too soon
and the dreamers wake in darkness by the moon
when a day goes by it's only afternoon
and the spirit to play
it moves you more.
We're on our way
on an autumn day
holiday
to Grand Rapids, Minnesota in the cold
and there's music in the heart of Laplant Road.
We're on our way
on an autumn day
holiday
to Grand Rapids, Minnesota in the cold
and there's music in the heart of Laplant Road.

Lloyd told me he liked to build guitars
it wasn't hard
he worked for hours
and his two young sons could build those pickers too
and the grass was blue
and they filled his shoes.

(chorus)

Lloyd pulled out a beater but a dream
a '33 D-18
he dusted off the top for St. Anne's Reel
the dessert deal with the home-made meal.

(chorus)
