Lyrics

Black River Fog
Jim Halverson

The heat of summer is on the fade
The night air drips of humid sweat
Shorts give way to socks and sweaters
Those dreamy nights you don't forget
But there’s a wet coolness in the air tonight
Brings memories of football on Friday night
I sit on my porch looking over the Black River Bottoms
Jamison, neat and with a splash
Kickin’ back and lettin’ go
Breath deep now because you know
I'll be back at work tomorrow

Black River Fog. Black River Fog
I can disappear in you and escape the day
Black River Fog. Black River Fog
For right now I'm gonna drift away
Black River fog. Black River fog
I'll be back when I feel ok

The river's low at the end of the summer
Canoes drift down in the lazy flow
30 minutes down to Grinde's landing
Make it there before the cooler's low
There's a haze growing over the valley now
The setting sun makes the shadows long
The mist rises up from the flowing water
Black River Fog is a smooth sweet song

Black River Fog. Black River Fog
I can disappear in you and escape the day
Black River Fog. Black River Fog
For right now I'm gonna drift away
Black River fog. Black River fog
I'll be back when I feel ok

Can't count the times I've retreated here
To the river bottoms where I’m freed
It's a place to charge my batteries
And find the sanity I need
I walk the dog along the sandbar
He swims until the sun goes down
Then we sit around the campfire
And listen to nature's sounds from all around

Black River Fog. Black River Fog
I can disappear and escape the day
Black River Fog. Black River Fog
I'm back now, cause I feel ok
Black River fog. Black River fog
I'm good to go until another day
