Lady In The Lake
She held tight to her photograph
It transpires mystery
The sun ain't rose and set for days
With echos of her agony
What good's a heart without a home
And no one to call her own
The waters rushed up to bathe her
Of her time and drown the memories
What's more beautiful than blood
Caked on her velvet skin
The dress she wore that night remains
Awash in scarlet sin
A haunting tale of sorrow
Underneath the murky deep
There's still a longing in those eyes
It hasn't ceased to be
Her broken spirit still exists
The pain calls her up to rise
And though I wanted to dismiss
As a trick of light or in my mind
Standing there so eloquent she cries
Sing to me
And ease my troubles, boy
This afterlife has known no joy
Because a death of love
Took me before my time
Sing to me
And provide peaceful rest
For though I'm gone, I can't forget
Sing a song and croon
To me in the midnight
Sing to me
Her broken spirit still exists
The pain calls her up to rise
And though I wanted to dismiss
As a trick of light or in my mind
Standing there so eloquent she cries
Sing to me
And ease my troubles, boy
This afterlife has known no joy
Because a death of love
Took me before my time
Sing to me
And provide peaceful rest
For though I'm gone, I can't forget
Sing a song and croon
To me in the midnight
Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me
