Lyrics
Back To The Lake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How can I look through
Their senseless side?
As much as I'd like to
All is not right - and it shows
All around you
Under the tree - a seed
Come in closer
There is a sign
Shaped in the mind
Pick up - for God's sake
When we call you back to the lake
How can I tell you
All that is wrong
Nothing invites you
Can't get along - with you now
And I try to
There is a page
It's still unwritten
Why can't you find
Time in your schedule
To pick up...
Oh, pick up for God's sake
When we call you back to the lake
Make no mistake
We will call you back to the lake
