Live at the Annex, Bar Harbor, Maine, August 3, 2023
lyrics
I didn’t know where I was going,
I only knew where I had been.
And every day it kept on snowing,
All through a winter I thought would never end.
So, I whiled away the time,
Holed up in my dingy suite.
I couldn’t find the way out of my worried mind
‘Til you found me, you brought the key, my Laura Lee.
Before you came to town, I was a loner,
Before you came around I was alone.
And for oh so long I was so lonely,
Before you came to town and turned my world around—
And now I find I know how to be happy,
And now I find I’m happy to be me,
I have finally found what I need to be sound,
Since you found me, you brought the key, my Laura Lee.
Yeah, your love set me free: you are the key, my Laura Lee.
Na-na-na-na-na-na- na now,
Na-na-na-na-na, hey hey,
Na-na-na-na-na-na- na now,
You set me free, now can’t you see—that
I love you,
Yes, I love you.
I love you, my Laura Lee
Yes, I love you.
