When the sun is down
And our tabs are up
It's the only time
To be honest enough
It's a pity to know
Unless our boots do break
Oh I'll stick to the valley
If you stick to the lake
Charades are what we play
A guessing game, prone to mistake
It's make believe; it's not the real thing
Maybe the real thing feels the same
Your face is red
While my heart is blue
It's an old cliche
Found in a country tune
It's a shame, it's shame
That it's too late
I'll stick to the valley
If you stick to the lake
Unless I can woo you
And prove I am true to you
Maybe things will reverse with a little bit of time
But I don't wanna lie to you
When the lights go down
And the show is done
We go back to the start
We go back to square one
We already know that we made a mistake
Oh I'll stick to the valley
If you stick to the lake
