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.

I walk accompanied by ghosts.

I walk accompanied by ghosts.

My father with his diamond eyes

His voice life size.

He says follow me. Follow me.

And I come sliding where I've been hiding

Out of the heart of a child.

Meet me by the lake. Meet me by the lake.

I'll be there. I'll be there.

If only I had the time. To tell you how I climbed

Out of the darkness. Out of my mind.

And I come sliding where I've been hiding

Out of the heart of a child.

Sunrise comes across the mountains.

Sunrise comes across the day.

Sunsets sit across the lakeside.

Sunsets across the Pyrenees.

Out of the heart of a child.

Out of the heart of a child.

Out of the heart of a child.

Meet me by the lake. Meet me by the lake.

I walk accompanied by ghosts.
