That Lake (Neil Cotton) https://www.reverbnation.com/neilcotton/song/30116645-that-lakeFriday on his lake side walk He saw her dive off a dock Quickly he dove in as well So it began for Mike and Michelle That lake was a baptismal place For a love lasting 6 decades That lake where 2 souls met Where eternity commenced By that lake they built their home Shared the view with their kinfolk All remarked how close they were Their hearts as one will always endure That lake was a baptismal place For a love lasting 6 decades That lake where 2 souls met Where eternity commenced He hoped he’d never face this day On that ol’ dock as the lake raged Holding her urn tightly to his chest He stepped off to the great abyss That lake was a baptismal place For a love lasting 6 decades That lake where their souls met Where eternity commenced…..That Lake

Just listened to the finished version of this piece and really enjoyed it. For some reason it brings to mind that Mark Chesnutt classic "Too Cold at Home" even though subjects are vastly different.

Neil,
Like what you’ve done musically here, really matches the lyrics; nice depth. (And, btw, great picture of you on stage with the guitar). I might choose to go up higher on the melody on the last line of the chorus, finish on a bit of a higher note. But that’s subjective; a personal preference. Nicely done, Neil.
All the best,
Deej
