"Better At Night" taken Thursday, July 7, 2009.
I go by this lake 1,000 more times and 1,000 more times I'm not going to know those yellow lights on the other side of the water, like yellow eyes turned away from me standing here on the wrong side of the shoreline. This artificial lake puts 1,000 miles between those houses and my home. Because me and my freinds are from south of here. And they're from everywhere but here, from Baltimore, D.C., Pittsburgh and Annapolis, bringing their city money, big money, money that makes those yellow lights shine on.
I just wondered how many stepped out from electric lights tonight to see the moon sleeping on the water. Cause tonight I can actually feel it as it lays there. And they'll just go on taking those lights from across the water, so far from me they don't even look real. But tonight they don't own my light.
That's the only damn thing they could never take from us, this one light. They can't ever own it, lease it, rent it, or list it like everything else in my county now. Thank God for that.
I think you meant "And they're from..."
