Lake
Stand back, see what you're making With the thoughts in your head They twist and turn like weeds on the riverbed They call forth the future into the here and now Your tongue is very silent your pain is loud
Heed the flow of the river as it runs And put your trust in the midnight sun It will awaken in your heart, feel no sorrow as you part Way beyond where we are one
Please... Let me be the lady of your lake I'll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake Oh my love is real, so ride the waves and know that I am near For a thousand years we have swum these tears
I kick back, watch you growing from a boy to man You stand in your magnificence according to plan My motives are clear and they're getting more each day I only want the truth from you, hear me say...
Heed the flow of the river as it runs And put your trust in the source of will It will awaken in your limbs and guide you to the brim Way beyond where the night is still
Please... Let me be the lady of your lake I'll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake My love is real, so ride the waves and know that I am near For a thousand years we have swum these tears
Yes I'll be the lady of your lake I'll swing the sword and cut the ties that bind you to the stake My love is real, so ride the waves and know that I am near
I am near
