A Day By The Lake

Back at last from yearning slumber

when the nightly drama came to a close

Hoping that fall will never come

Salute the morning sun

Inviting us to idleness

Hoping that fall will never come

The hour calls for secrecy

silently we'd slip out to the lake

Hoping that fall will never come

And I stumble as of vertigo

Can't await the sound of gentle waves

melting with the rhythm of our crave.

But today there are only elegies

Filling our tainted elysium

Still hoping that fall will never come

This place turned to a fraud mirage

Deceitful and untrue.

Still hoping that fall will never come

Embraces solace me

They hide my tears in pastel drapery

Still hoping that fall will never come

And I cry just as you

Knowing, this is coming to an end

But still I am hoping that fall will never come.

But it came.
