She was sitting near the end of the dock 
Dangling her feet into the air 
Wasting minutes as they ticked off the clock 
She sipped iced tea, and tugged a strand of hair 
I was watching from a bench in the yard 
A stray dog caught a frisbee in the street 
The local rock group down the road was trying hard 
She sang along, and nodded with the beat 

Such quiet dry breezes blow, on 
Huddleston Pond 
Huddleston Pond 

There were walkways that encircled the park 
They wove throughout the woods, and into town 
As lovers waited for the day to grow dark 
She watched the trees while sunlight filtered down 

Your sadness will melt away, on 
Huddleston Pond 
Huddleston Pond 

A mother spreads a picnic while her kids play hide and seek 
The high school track team's training for the championship next week 

She was sitting near the end of the dock 
Carving her initials in the wood 
I paused a moment as I drove down the block 
The water was reflecting on the hood

Just out past the covered bridge, on 
Huddleston Pond 
Huddleston Pond
