about

Nigel wrote this about his experience visiting Saugatuck on the banks of Lake Michigan. Slide solo on open tuning tenor guitar.

lyrics

Laze Away (Wesson)

It’s pretty clear to see, there’s nothing both’rin’ me
I’m at ease in my mind
When somethin’s missing - I just go fishin'
Take me to Lake Michigan again

Way down in Saugatuck where they have all the luck
They have a whale of a time
Just head across the lake and watch the foaming wake
As you leave your vagaries behind

When some peace is what I lack
The Lake of Michigan is calling me back
Carefree days that you can laze away

It’s like you're out to sea, that’s where you want to be
As the shoreline recedes
Clear your mind a while, live a life of style
Put the child inside at ease
