Lady Of The Lake

When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake

And I was her favorite child

She wore a white gown her yellow hair hanging down

And her voice like a shadow, was gentle and kind

Everyday to the sea we would go hand in hand

And build great white castles, civilizations in sand

And I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush

And gather seashell jewels for her, as stars watched over us

When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake

And I was her favorite child

She wore a white gown her yellow hair hanging down

And a voice like a shadow, was gentle and kind

Sometimes we'd set sail straight for the sun

As down the dome of sky it fled

And sometimes we'd try to catch it as it spun

To the deep sea comfort of the seagreen bed

The lady of the lake is gone, lost with childhoods mind

But the intoxication lingers on and I remember the time

When I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush

And gather seashell jewels for her, as the stars watched over us

When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake

And I was her favorite child
