Middle of 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 was never alone in the middle of the lake

I was always outside of my mind

And I never dreamed a dream I liked

And in the common rooms I cried

In rock 'n' roll there's a mighty long fall

Oh, there's a mighty loud call

I live my life in the middle of the night

My breath goes up and down counting time

By the light of day I fade away

And in the common rooms I cry

And rock 'n' roll, you call my name

I call me to the stage

Where I sing my little songs of

Love and pain, winds of change

Or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain

(Singing, singing, singing, singing, singing, singing)

You make it worth living this terrible life

I was burnt by the Sun, frozen in ice

I was dead on arrival, missing in action, living a fraction

And in the common rooms the toil takes its toll

And rock 'n' roll, can you save my life?

Can you make me live forever?

Oh, save my life

Oh, I sing my songs

Of love and pain, winds of change

Or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain

Singing in the rain

Singing
