My Life's Fishing Hole (Stoney Lake)

by Scott Moehring

/

about

My uncle has been to the same Canadian lake every summer for 80 years. When I last visited him, he told me he had made every big decision in his life while fishing on that lake. On my long drive home, I had an idea for a song about that.

lyrics

Oh I’ve got a problem, the answer, don’t know
I need time to think, I know just where to go

Yes, it’s a Stoney problem, but the answer’s out there
On the lake, with my boat, and my rod, and fresh air

Dark water and granite, pines and blue sky
I throttle the engine, my spirits so high

I'm fishing for insight, fishing for thoughts
On my Stoney Lake, life's decisions are caught

I track the safe line, between islands I fly
I am home in the north, wave to those I pass by

At last I arrive at My Life’s Fishing Hole
I cast and I wait, and I feel whole

Fishing for clarity, fishing for thoughts
On my Stoney Lake, life's decisions are caught

Time, space, and solitude are my trusted bait
The big ones will bite, if only I wait...

I’ve reeled in some keepers on the lake all alone
Then it’s Red Right Returning, to find my way home
